Born and raised in South LA by my two Mexican-born parents. I grew up gravitating towards art from an early age, admiring and copying my older brother, and being interested in all kinds of visual imagery – especially video games, comics, and animation.
I received a BA in Art Practice from the University of California, Berkeley in 2009 and a MFA in Drawing & Printmaking from Washington State University, Pullman in 2011. Moved back to Los Angeles after grad school, balancing life and art making. Since 2016 I have been organizing and teaching introductory printmaking workshops under Aguacate Press at the Hawthorne Arts Complex.
Currently living and making art in Los Angeles, CA.
