Visual Art – Seattle

I\'m a self-taught artist who grew up in Los Angeles. I had passion for art as a child but was gently guided away from pursuing an art career by my parents, who had something else in mind: health sciences or engineering. Taking even just one art class was out of the question. I graduated from the University of Southern California (USC) with a degree in Biomedical/Mechanical Engineering and pursued a career as an engineer, while never losing sight of my dreams of creating art. Now, with new found leisure time away from my day job, I have been able to unleash my bottled up creativity. I’ve experimented with hand drawn portraits, 3-dimensional modeling, stencil art, acrylics and more. I currently reside in Seattle, Washington, where I’ve turned my condo into a makeshift art studio, cranking out art pieces when I’m not slaving away at my day job. I hopes my art inspires you to pursue your own passion(s).
