Artist living and working in Austin, TX. I make a living marketing for a non-profit, managing the accounts of a sculpture fabrication shop, planning events and selling artwork.

Above all, I enjoy exploring and am always down for fun in the name of adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be taking a solo road trip and would love to get to know people in the towns I visit.

Roommates are in on the hosting action and I'd like to get in on it too. We have big house, might as well share it.

Interests

My passion is in art and the history behind it. As a Latina artist, I spend much of my time contemplating what that means for me in this world. I enjoy exploring things on my own and have no problem with a solo dinner, coffee or movie date. That said, I still love a good party and a good night out with friends. I spin fire staff when I can and will take a risk in the name of adventure.
