From a young age, Reyna had a vivid imagination and a love for expression. Creating things was what gave her life meaning. Although she’d been creating her entire life, she began painting in 2022 when things drastically changed after a rare diagnosis. Within two months she had lost everything. While processing grief and her new life changes, Reyna painted every night. When words failed her, she created something. She dedicated her life to her newfound practice, in hopes that she can bring connection and hope to others through her work.

Reyna believes that our health and expression are the most valuable gifts in life, and that how we spend our time is how we will be remembered. The art that she makes is constantly evolving with her as she’s learning and growing. Her goal is to create expressive works through multiple mediums that evoke strong emotions and change in others. Her hope is that it inspires people to keep creating, and to never give up on the things you care about.
