I am a primarily a painter living in Dallas, Texas. My go to elements when creating are color, humor, and maximalism. Sometimes the art is fully realized and sometimes it is a true stream of consciousness. For example, I have had several ideas for paintings from dreams and visions such as Brochier Stand, and Phone Book. Remedios Varo showed me in dreams.
Under the representation of RO2 Gallery in Dallas since 2017, I have had three exhibitions. Born in Irving, Texas, 1990, I came of age in the Dallas metroplex area, and received my Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, New Media Art focus, from the University of North Texas in 2013.
