​"BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash. – Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (BIMA) presents BIMA Spotlight, the museum’s first-ever juried group exhibition. Six jurors reviewed approximately 3,400 artworks, submitted by 606 artists from the Puget Sound region. The result is a diverse salon-style show, filling the majority of BIMA’s two gallery floors with the work of 150 artists from the Puget Sound Region. BIMA Spotlight is part of BIMA’s 10th Anniversary celebration and closes on Sunday, September 24, 2023"
I was humbled to have my piece Monarca included in Bainbridge Island Museum of Art's first ever juried group exhibition! This was my first museum show ever, followed then by El Noroeste. I am very grateful to be an artist in this lifetime.

​After having the opportunity to show in El Noroeste this past September, and having been invited by Mi Centro, I decided I wanted to be a part of their permanent collection because the work they do in arts and culture is vital for our Latine and Indigenous communities. I wanted my work to be included because their vision for arts and values for community align with mine as well. I am grateful they graciously accepted 'Monarca', into their collection. Monarca will be hung in the Arreguin Gallery at Mi Centro's Center for Arts and Culture in Tacoma WA.
