ABOUT
- Hello.I am an artist and wanderer...a lover of life, knowledge, and everything in between.Born in San Antonio and raised in a small, rural community in South Texas, I attended Trinity University, where I studied liberal arts extensively and focused on fine art, art history, and religion. I transferred and graduated magna cum laude with my BFA in painting and animation from the Savannah College of Art andDesign in Atlanta, Georgia in 2010. In the past, I have been most influenced by the disconnect I feel from my cultural and religious upbringing, and thereby pursued themes of identity, Hispanic culture, and religion in my work.Currently engaged in several multimedia and multidisciplinary projects ranging from documentary-style and intimate short films to photography to a series of personal fine art work, I am on a constant path of self-discovery, travel, creation and activism actively figuring out how to link my passions with my dreams.
