visual artist and writer marisol diaz i am a self-defined Nuyorican creative (that is a Puerto Rican who is from both the isles of Manhattan, NYC and the Caribbean). I share daily in the joy of education and live in a cute port town in New York, in a 'teensy-weensy' apartment with my two dogs and canary named Valentino. Check out my Etsy shop for purchasable pieces. Please do not reproduce imagery off of this site without explicit credit and no derivatives may be made of my original imagery- Thank You.

My Puerto Rican land burns a red-hot GREEN streak into my fingernails. My Puerto Rican Ocean burns a red-hot BLUE into my irises. My New York City concrete gray liquefies my fortress.
My memory burns brightly with the scalding heat of an iron my eyes are forever branded blue.
Stumble It!
