Details of Being Braider. It’s a longer painting. 11"x19". But that size really allowed me to tell the painting’s story.

In 1896 under Spanish rule Utuado, Puerto Rico was the first town on the island to get electricity. Ironically, 122-years-later, 6 months #PostMaria, it’s in the dark.
The greatest testament to Puerto Rican resilience is the multitude of globally-recognized Boricua art & community makers. La Respuesta is the space where they all come together. LaRes is for, by, and about Boricuas, since 2013.

When people ask, “what natural resources does Puerto Rico have”, La Respuesta responds: “It’s people.” The Puerto Rican people are beautiful, smart, creative, and resilient, like all human beings.
