Espiritu Press grew out of my desire to create work that feels accessible and shareable while still reflecting my personal connection to memory, place, and identity. My fine art practice is rooted in collage and often explores layered concepts of cultural memory and transformation. While deeply fulfilling, it’s an inward, experimental process that leads to unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. In contrast, Espiritu Press allows me to channel those same themes through the more structured and illustrative medium of relief printing. This practice offers a way to create pieces that are both tactile and replicable, and still grounded in the traditional techniques I value. It’s a chance to craft prints and art books that tell visual stories, blending artistry and narrative in a form designed to be held, shared, and experienced by others. By balancing these two practices, I’m able to explore different facets of my creativity—one that's deeply introspective and personal, and the other more outward-facing and narrative-based. Together, they form a complete expression of who I am as an artist.

I rely on a variety of printmaking techniques to create my work, including block printing with linoleum, wood, or sentra board, screenprinting, and intaglio using copper or sentra board. Each piece is printed by hand or on a printing press, carefully transferring the image from block to its final surface. My block prints are printed with oil-based ink, while my screenprints are made with water-based ink. I work with archival-quality paper, often made from rice or mulberry pulp, chosen for its delicate and semi-transparent qualities. You can see some of my process on my instagram @espiritupress.

I accept commissions on a case-by-case basis, limited to off-peak months. I like to begin with a conversation to understand your vision and how it aligns with my practice. Depending on the scale and complexity of the project, timelines and pricing can vary.
