Some Palabras...
Artista de corazon and always looking to create. I am so thankful for the collaborations and partnerships I've had in my short professional career. As a young artist I give thanks to the art educators and mentors that introduced me into the world of art. I am an alum of Santa Barbara Senior High's Visual Arts and Design Academy as well as a former apprentice at Santa Barbara's Parks and Recreation youth mentorship program, The Santa Barbara Arts Alliance.

I've worked with Chicano Student programs at the University of California, Riverside as a Community Artist and Marketing Coordinator. Tasked with the development and implementation of visual materials for quarterly campaigns. I've also worked briefly as a Museum Associate at the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara. Where I have been able to work with both local and international artists. Currently I work as a Freelance Commissioned Artist focused primarily on graphic design and digital illustration.
