'Taking Up Space' Series

Each of these pieces were part of my ‘Taking Up Space” series created and exhibited together in 2023. Below is the series artist statement.

“Angelica was always made to feel like she was never enough.

Growing up as a fair skinned, mixed, Mexican American kid who was not completely fluent in

Spanish her identity was constantly questioned by others.

"You're not Mexican enough" was a

common comment towards Angelica. Today she is no longer allowing herself to feel less than or

allowing herself to think that her experience is not valid. Angelica is enough. She is Latinx

enough. She is Mexican American, and she is taking up her space and sharing her experience.

Angelica is a first generation Mexican American, who is a self-taught multi-medium artist in

Kansas City. Her preferred mediums are acrylic paint and cardstock paper. Over the past few

years Angelica has worked to create her own contemporary geometric style. Her most recent body

of work depicts items or experiences relative to her culture and heritage.”
