Welcome, I am Ana, a mixed media bookbinding artist originally from Michoacán, Mexico, and currently based in Oakland, CA. My work is deeply influenced by my dreams and the natural world. 

As a child, visiting my grandmother’s house, sparked a profound fascination with insects. The rhythmic hum of cicadas, the delicate flight of bees, butterflies, and dragonflies left an incredible mark in my life. Coupled with the vivid imagery from my dreams, they continue to inspire my creative journey.

In my art, I seek to blend the ethereal world of my dreams with elements of nature tapping in the concept of biophilia - a deep love for nature and my connection to it. I enjoy using vibrant color palettes and rich textures, capturing the joy and curiosity that arise from a child-like lens on the natural world.
