About Me
Hello!
I am a Local Artist based in the Southtown area. Born and raised in San Antonio, TX. Home of the San Antonio Spurs! In my spare time I enjoy rollerskating, watching scary movies, hiking, photography, painting and roadtripping when I get the chance to. I have my A.A.S in Communication Design. As I have progressed through school learning different areas of graphic design I have come to realize I enjoy Illustration far more than I thought I would. I would like to work for a design firm staring off and transition later to a freelance designer. I see myself working with marketing and branding to later stop motion and game art illustrations. I don’t sell my art but I am inspired by raw organic elements as well as trippy forms of art.I try to express myself through painting and photography.
