about me

Rocío lived in the Caribbean for 28 years. As a child, she showed an interest in art. She did the art for her graduating class in middle and high school. Rocio studied architecture for 3 years and graduated in Fashion Design. In 2006 she moved to San Diego where she did a BSHA and a Master in MPH.

After finishing her master's degree, she started a non-profit organization called Coqui Saludable to help people live healthy lifestyles. From the Diaspora Rocío channeled with her art the love and longing for the Island. Here she shares that evolution embodied in her paintings for the last 16 years. Her art full of vibrant colors takes you back to the island of enchantment.

Modeling is an art form I deeply love. I used to think it was just about being in front of the camera, but it's also about you: your body, how you present yourself, whom you wear, and whom you identify with.

Under different lights, lenses, and creative direction, modeling gives me a chance to become a different person, one shutter click at a time.
