Welcome to My Art Portfolio 

About Me

My artwork explores the relationship between whimsical, inspirational, and everyday items.  I’m passionate about using bright colors to express my emotions and ideas, though in this portfolio I favored using charcoal to explore line, value, and contour.  My work reflects my love for vibrancy and energy brought to life. Each piece is a celebration of contrast, light, or energy, inviting viewers to experience joy and positivity. 

​

My vision for each piece is to capture a moment in time, whether it be still life or an activity at hand.  Sometimes it will be art for art’s sake.  Other times, my art seeks to situate the viewer in a reflective role about a moment in life. 

I take inspiration from growing up in an artistic and musical Mexican American household as I mix in everyday items in my art pieces.  A handful of artists influence me on any given day, including Edgar Degas, Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Victor Moscoso and Vernon Treweeke.

I expect my audience to admire my art through the small details that bring everything together.  My mixed media includes charcoal, acrylic paint, markers, color pencils, ink, and pencil and eraser.

In my work, you’ll find a collection of my creations showcasing my journey as an artist and the inspirations I draw from everyday life.  I hope my work resonates with you and inspires you to see beauty in color and creativity.
