Her crystalline vocals soar over lush arrangements and captivating lyricism, creating vivid soundscapes rooted in a love of the mythic, triumphant, and bittersweet. <br \/><br \/>As a bicultural magical-realism artist, she explores the in-between in every medium, always conveying a sense of otherworldliness and wonder. Her paintings celebrate the magic of the ordinary, of resilience, and hope. As an Archaeologist and Folklorist, her work is fused with history and myth, and revolves around an anthropological understanding of essential humanity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.25em;
