This is who I am: Lucía, a writer and interdisciplinary artist with ancestral roots in Texas and Northern Mexico. I was born in the jacaranda spring, took my first steps at sea, and move with the tug of the wind and moon.

As a writer I work in fiction, poetry, and hybrid forms. I also work with textiles, printmaking, herbal medicine, mapmaking, and oral histories.

My current projects take influence from ancestral storytelling, the land, non-linear time, and the ephemeral nature of light and bodies and water to investigate barriers, borders, emergence, and escape.

I presently live and write and teach on the land of the Narragansett people in Providence, Rhode Island. I hold an MFA from Brown University, where I was awarded the Feldman Prize for short stories and the John Hawkes Prize in Fiction. My writing appears in Denver Quarterly, Querencia Press, and elsewhere.

My work has recently been supported by workshops, residencies, and fellowships at Tin House, Bread Loaf, Riga House, Dirt Palace/Wedding Cake House, Vermont Studio Center, and the Juniper Institute.​
