Where are you from?

Atlanta

How long have you lived in Atlanta/ Surrounding Areas?

I was born in the Atlanta suburbs and I moved back to the area 8 years ago. Before moving back, I lived in Savannah while getting getting my Illustration degree from SCAD.

What inspired you to submit art for this project?

I've always loved the art of Frida Kahlo, and I love a good margarita.

Please describe your artwork. What does the piece mean to you?

For this piece, I was inspired by Frida's love of traditional Mexican folk arts, especially indigenous embroidery. Inspired by native Otomi embroidery, I created a portrait of Frida featuring native wildlife and plant motifs. 

If you win, how would you spend $500 at Pure (a month of free tacos)?

If I won a month of free tacos, first I would freak out, but then I would love to invite my friends for an epic Taco Tuesday! The puerco al pastor are my absolute fave, but I don't discriminate when it comes to tacos.
