Professional info
I am a visual artist who finds creativity and inspiration in nature. My working mediums vary from pencil or charcoal on paper, carving wood panels, to making large format mixed media drawings with acrylic and markers. My pieces tend to fall on the abstract side of the spectrum. I look to work with the principles of design and the formal qualities in ways to make an art work outstanding. Texture, repetition, contrast, volume and value range are few of the ingredients I look forward in my work. I am also proficient with painting, sculpting, and photography, Photoshop, Microsoft Word, Power Point and Excel. I can speak English and Spanish.
