Visual Art – Austin

I am a Dallas grown kid from the inner-city neighborhoods of Oak Cliff, raised the youngest of three kids by a single immigrant woman. My eldest of the siblings works in her family accordian business, and a mother of two. My brother, is about five years older than I and is a police officer for the Dallas Police Department. I moved to Austin when I was nineteen years old with nothing but a gym bag filled with cloths and 800 dollars in my bank account. I began painting shortly after moving to Austin, simply because i could, so I tried it and I Took to it like a fish in water. I am full time as a trainer, and a part time student, i make sure to paint once a week. I enjoy exercising, riding my bike and playing with my dog Ottis. My life is still in development, but I know the pattern of my intentions have always, and will forever, remain pure.
