Black Elephant

Welcome to my creative universe! Everything you see here is a labor of deep love and passion. I blend my Mexican heritage with a passion for making art in a restorative way, using natural elements — because I believe art should honor the earth. That's why everything in my studio is created with a gentle footprint:

• Ethically sourced butterflies — Every single butterfly wing in my jewelry and shadow boxes is 100% ethically sourced from sanctuaries, found, or gifted to me. These sanctuaries do incredible work creating life and repopulating endangered butterfly species. No creatures are ever harmed for my art — they live out their full, natural lives, and then their beauty is preserved.
• Earth treasures — The crystals, mosses, and botanicals I use are mindfully found by hand out in nature, from Illinois to Hawaii and everywhere in between, or gifted to me by friends and loved ones.
• Reclaimed finds — I love recycling and repurposing! I hunt for thrifted jewelry, antique frames, and forgotten little things, then reclaim them and give them a brand-new, beautiful life as one-of-a-kind statement pieces.

Browse my creations or commission something custom — I'll work within any price range.
