One of her main goals within her photography is to try to provide a better understanding of a community that she herself belongs to and has remained invisible in the arts. As a heavyweight, lesbian Latina with auditory dyslexia she strives to challenge art and its social patriarchal constructs of the ideal and “beautiful” female body. She is able to do so by artistically creating photographic images that compassionately render the human experience, revealed through the lives of individuals in the lesbian/gay and/or persons of color communities that are not often considered mainstream.
