BUSINESS NAME: Tonalli Craft Co.
WHO AM I: I am from Guerrero, Mexico. I came to the US when I was 2 years old and grew up in Monroe, NC. I am a proud graduate of Johnson C. Smith University (Class of 2016) where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Performing Arts. I describe myself as an interdisciplinary teaching artist because along with my studio practice, I also teach art workshops. I am a member of OBRA Collective, an art collective of Latinx artists. I live with my partner, our son, and our dog.

MY CREATIVE STYLE: Interdisciplinary Teaching Artist
WHAT SPARKS MY CREATIVITY: My Mexican culture sparks my creativity. A lot of my art and items in my pop up shop are inspired by my culture. I am drawn to the traditional textiles, bright colors, and floral patterns of my homeland.
