Maria Christina Rodriguez is a mixed media multi disciplinary artist whose Filipina heritage and nineteen years in NYC inform her eclectic practice. She likens her artistic multiplicity to halo-halo, a popular Filipino dessert that pulls together illogically complimentary ingredients into unexpected harmony.
