About me

I am half Mexican and fully bilingual in Spanish and English, I write in both languages and enjoy creating poems and writing for my illustrations. My art is influenced by my Mexican background which you can see in my colourful digital illustrations.

  • Stop calling me Exotic
    Stop calling me ExoticI remember my first day at work, The nerves that entered me to start asking people what they wanted, Bringing the food to each table my arms were shaking Unbalanced feet Rapid heartbeat Bit by bit Before the day ended There were four gentlemen to serve to Whom I had to serve the confidence I collected throughout the day I went to their table number, I went to serve them, "Where are you from?" "Leeds" "No but where are you REALLY from? You look so exotic."
