Valenzuela is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice is centered around depicting her personal experiences as well as the storytelling of other women who like her are in the Chicano world of low-riding.  Her art practice reflects the deep roots she has planted in the low-rider community by bridging the gap between fine art and this underrepresented community.
