LaMuchacha

I am a 25 year old Art student pursuing a career in Art Exhibition Design. I adore my family and friends and spend as much time as I can with them. I hope to one day own my own small local gallery/boutique space where I can showcase wonderful art and local handmade and vintage goods! Also to have a space to serve my community in any way I can.

I am the oldest of four siblings. My father is from Leon Guanajuato, Mexico and my mother was born in East Los Angeles. Her parents are from Tecolotlan, Jalisco and Jalpa, Zacatecas Mexico. My family means a lot to me and every chance I get to visit my dad's family in Mexico I take it. We are all very close. There are so many beautiful places in Mexico I have yet to explore.

I consider myself a Chicana. That is, I was born in the U.S with strong familial roots in Mexico.
