About Me

I am an artist and art educator, born and raised on the Westside of San Anto. I graduated from Our Lady of the Lake University in 2003 with a degree in art and a minor in drama. I come from a family of artists and poets, as well as educators, So, needless to say. I've always known what I wanted to do.I'm not tattooing quite that much these days. I am currently the Mural Program Coodinator for San Anto Cultural Arts. We're a West Side based non-profit who's sole purpose is to help youth and adult community residents to express themselves in many ways and learn more about arte y cultura. To help remind them of the pride and respect that their community deserves as well as gain real-wold artistic experience.In this copacity I can still teach youth about art, and also enrich the experience by directly appling it to actual public works of art. I'd been a volunteer at San Anto since before it's official birth in 1997, and now I work there! I have been Mural painting for over ten years now and have gained so much knowledge and wisdom from various artists who have worked at San Anto over the years, that I am so proud to be able to mentor the future of Arte en San Anto!!!!!!!c/s
