My creativity is what drives me, calms me, keeps me alive. My childhood inspires me and reminds me never to let go of happiness. The old South West awakens my artistic spirit and with oil as my medium I have created some beautiful pieces that embody my thoughts, emotions, and desires.

I was lucky enough to be exposed to art at a very young age by my beautiful grandmother, Polixenia. I have grown to appreciate the beauty and vulnerability of humanity, and that is what I seek to convey through my art. My subjects, regardless of the medium used, are people. People and their stories are what inspire me and help me feel connected to others through art and relationships.

My involvement in the art world extends back as far as I can remember, from painting as a young girl to helping showcase museum and gallery exhibitions. I will always hold a love for art, whether I be creating, curating, or simply appreciating it. The lines in my series of three depict the beauty of a woman’s body through my lens, otherwise known as, Lines by Lees.

Growing up I found my inspiration in comic books, cartoons, and street art. My goal is to distract viewers with my work and invoke a state of bliss and joy.

My mother always had the foresight to see that I would be in creative fields long before I even knew I would be. Creativity was the simplest way for me in self expression. When it all came to fruition, my access was fashion. I am a studying design student and Millian is my brand.

Tequila Papi’s roots are native Southern CA and the brainchild of Ross Fuentes. It is the culmination of influences, passions, and reverence for the heritage and culture of SoCal that created the heart and soul of Tequila Papi. Through self-expression, salsa decadence, and spirit of Tequila, we look forward to sharing our story with you.

My art is an open representation of finding my identity and confidence through my creative process. Since a young age I have used art to express my emotions. My passion grew though being mentored in local art classes, sparking my interest in color and placement. Most of my influences come from nature and the beauty life has to offer. I am inspired by the physical ways to create features, textures, and blend colors with a mixed media style. I often use spray-paints, acrylics, oils, pastels, and textiles. I advocate for body positivity and self-expression hoping to inspire us to be confident in who we are meant to be.

I am a Southern California-based photographer, looking for the in-between moments in both my surroundings and the subjects I photograph. With the curiosity to learn about others, an indirect approach to shooting, and a calm demeanor, I make photographs as natural moments unfold. Using this approach allows my subjects to be at ease and provides the most authentic story to photograph.
