Artist Bio

My passion with art began at a young age. Throughout elementary school and middle school, I was always doodling in the margins of assignments, which gradually evolved into a deeper interest in visual storytelling. By high school, I began pursuing art more seriously, enrolling in AP Art during my sophomore year at San Juan High School. I later completed my diploma at San Clemente High School in 2021.

That same year I was accepted into the BFA program at Laguna College of Art and Design, where I majored in Drawing and Painting with an emphasis in Illustration. In 2025, I was honored to receive the Plotkin Foundation Scholarship in recognition of my artistic growth and dedication.

I graduated with my BFA in December 2025. As I continue to evolve as an artist, I remain committed to refining my voice through both traditional techniques and contemporary perspectives.

Artist statement

My subject matter consists of illustration with fine arts. I enjoy using oil paint on various surfaces and using impasto has been very satisfying in the process of painting. My pallet thrives off of bright colors. I’m particularly drawn to landscapes featuring sunrises or sunsets. I'm fascinated by the idea of capturing fleeting moments during these times of the day. The purpose of my work is for my audience to sense the connection between the living and the dead. My pieces incorporate symbols of both life and death, if we remain open-minded, those connections can still exist and bring us comfort. My work will include elements of otherworldly realms, reminiscent of a fever dream. My goal is to transcend the boundaries of reality and physics in my work, inviting viewers to enter a different state of consciousness.
