Covered, but still growing.
Verdura works on our tensions.
Body, ecology, exposure, care are not separate.
Just different points on the cycle.

Three Verdura Studio logos stacked vertically. The middle logo is navy blue inside a tan box, while the top and bottom logos are cut out to reveal the flecked, fibrous texture of recycled mulch paper.

Verdura Studio is where art meets the earth.
Balance, resilience; those themes now have a home. Not a new label; it’s an evolution of the stories I’ve been telling through my work, now further rooted in community and regenerative design.

I am starting Verdura Studio from a love of plants and art—shaped by my life as a Black Chicano queer maker. We work with nature as a medium, creating objects and learning spaces rooted in care, reciprocity, and regenerative practice. 🌱
