Together, we own a designing business in Las Cruces and create unique two and three-dimensional works and photography that reflect our love for New Mexico. We love nature and very much appreciate this region’s rich history and cultural diversity. We find inspiration from the natural world and our lives. We tend to inspire each other and create together. Because of this, we merged our last names into “Radilla”.
I earned a BFA from the University of New Mexico and a MFA in Museum Science from Texas Tech University. “I am easily inspired by the art I see and study at the museum. Using a variety of mediums to create two and three-dimensional works allows me to diversify and try new ways of expressing myself.” These mediums include painting, photo montages, shadow boxes, beadwork and miniatures to create seasonal trees and wreaths. My wreaths remind me of all the beauty that surrounds me in the natural world. They are my still lifes."
