Cuervo Negro
I’m really inspired by the colors of the seasons and the plants that come out during them. My work is usually very season based. I’m also very inspired by my culture. I love incorporating cempasúchil, monarch butterflies, and other cultural iconography into my beadwork, especially around día de muertos.

I’m also inspired by more random things like a pattern or color scheme I saw in a movie, TV show, book cover, textile, or just things I pass by in my daily life. Lastly, and very importantly-other artists are a huge inspiration to me. The Indigenous artist community is one of the most supportive communities I’ve been a part of, I love those people so much!
