Born in La Paz, Bolivia, I immigrated to New York as a child. Received my BFA from C.W Post/ Long Island University in 1998 and my Master of Arts in Education from University of Phoenix in 2006.

While completing my undergraduate work in N.Y, I volunteered to teach at a summer program at the Kumayya Indian reservation in California. My experience at the reservation is what led me to a career in art education. My great appreciation and admiration of the Southwest and a constant search for adventure brought me to Phoenix in 1998.
My passion for the arts, and desire to pursue my dreams lead me to becoming a full- time artist. My ability to develop and organize programs, and events, desire to give back to the community, led me to being awarded the first public art award by the Mayor of Phoenix. An honor that was followed by various other recognitions for my work.
I am recognized for a wide range of multicultural projects which have given a voice to the city through artistic expression, worked together with communities to create a conduit not only for art, but for cultural discussion that tells a story. An artist with experiences stemming from a career of teaching, coordinating, and managing community art projects. Fabrication and sculpture with various materials. Murals and educating citizens in arts related projects.
Working in collaboration with communities, architects, and public administrators, I have technical and design experience leading large scale public art projects connected with transportation infrastructure, such as the upcoming valley metros light rail expansion in Phoenix, where my station designs are scheduled to be installed during February 2024. Additional experience as a project manager, estimator, fabricator, and designer fortified my expertise in custom steel fabrication through working closely with artists, architects, designers, and fabricators to create unique public works of art.
My passion for creating original works of art in collaboration with the community is highlighted on the two recently completed murals at the new Soluna Apartments. The project was the first mural commissioned by the City of Phoenix. The project was part of a $300 million transformation of the Edison-Eastlake community. Gorman & Company partnered with the City of Phoenix Housing Department on this multi-phased project that will redefine this neighborhood for generations.
