Born in Mexico and raised in Texas, I began to draw at around the age of 5. My parents, especially my mother have always supported my work. In high school I began to see art as a possible career and started to experiment with all types of mediums. At the time, drawing was my primary concentration. My art teacher, Diana Rodriguez was a big influece and motivator in my artistic endeavours. She helped me to grow as an artist throughout the four years in high school and encouraged me to attend the University of the Incarnate Word. I am currently a senior at the University and with the guidance of professor Miguel Cortinas, have chosen painting and drawing as my concentration. As of today my work is beggining to focus on social issues that deal with immigration and human injustice. My future goals are to complete my portfolio for submission in hopes of attending the School of Visual Arts in New York City for my Masters Degree.
