About

 Originally from Tegucigalpa, Honduras but have grown up in the States for the majority of my life. My area of focus is in and has always been in Illustration. One of first passions is Architecture. I received a Masters in Architecture and a BA in Studio Arts w/a minor in political science from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2015. As an artist; my love for the arts really began at a very young age with animation and it just really took off from there. I have to admit that I value the beauty behind any form of art. Nothing connects to me more than strong aesthetics, and therefore one of the things I enjoy most in life is creating things that have a meaning or a strong message behind it, I create art with the purpose to really make the viewer think. Drawing is my first love; graphic design and photography eventually followed but Drawing has become my passion. My personal work is a continuous exploration of different mediums, that is why I label myself a mixed media artist more than anything. This is why I don’t confine myself to a certain medium, what would be the fun in that? I’m I right?  My concept(s) and message tend to grow and adjust as I learn new things about these mediums and undoubtedly about myself through the actual practice. I consider myself a freelance graphic designer and photographer as well. I began doing freelance graphic work throughout my college years and have continued to work in that capacity and refine my skills in time.

My concept and message tends to grow and adjust as I learn new things about these mediums and undoubtedly about myself through the actual practice, but what remains constant is that I enjoy what I do! In addition to drawing, however, I also consider myself a freelance graphic designer and photographer. I began doing freelance graphic work recently and have continued to work in that capacity and refine my skills in recent years. I enjoy the process in trying to find the answers to those creative problems and to bring forth amazing solutions.
