Her work often features utopian scenery and lush botanicals composed with dense patterns and bold brush strokes. Roxy’s paintings reflect her feelings and always carry layers of meaning. Of her work, Roxy says:
“Desde niña yo quiera ser una mariposa. Como ellas nací como una oruga. Como una hermosa meriposa como son ellas. Como yo soy una mariposa: una reina linda, perra, la jefa. Así siento más fuete. Yo estoy hecho muchas ganas en mi trabajo.”
“Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve wanted to be a butterfly. Like the butterfly, I was born a caterpillar. Now I am a butterfly: a beautiful queen, a badass, the boss. That’s how I feel empowered. I put my heart and soul into my work. “
