about me

I am a multidisciplinary abstract artist who is inspired by nature, movement, music, and anti-capitalist resistance. My jewelry designs are uniquely made to converse with the wearer and they avoid fitting into aesthetic trends.

I was raised by muralist, Hector Duarte, and journalist mother, Linda Lutton, between Zamora, Mich., MX and Chicago, IL,US. They gifted me the foundation of art, activism, and community grounding that I rely on today.

I study Economics, Environmental, and Indigenous studies at Brown University. I create art to decompress, express, and make sense of what I am learning. I balance isolation with collaboration, and I strive to be intentional about every decision. I pour knowledge into my creations so every piece carries a lesson of encouragement.
