About the Artist

“For as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed drawing. I grew up appreciating the art prints my mom hung on our walls—pieces by Monet and Van Gogh. However, my primary inspiration has always come from the everyday scenery of my hometown, Tijuana, Mexico.

This inspiration led me to Art school, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Studio  Art from the University of California. In recent years, I have been experimenting with a more abstract approach, focusing on understanding the color compositions that capture my vision. Art has also become a healing process for me during my health journey, and sharing my self-expression through painting is something I deeply value. I now reside in San Diego, CA, where I take a daily walk to my studio.”
