At 19 I relocated to California to continue my painting and fashion illustrations, I was born and raised in Mexico where I had been apprentice to my mother and to three other gifted painters.
My artistic education began as a child and continues: I'm still in love with the endless results of color pairings and with the enhancement of texture. I learned to draw and to mix colors at an early age: I would come home after school only to start painting besides my mother and brothers; my experiments soon turned into a language of its own that I have continued to refine, the subjects and themes have evolved but the intensity of color and the symbols I attach to each one remain the essence of my work. I studied Painting and Fashion Design at Santa Monica College and later focused on human anatomy and two dimensional design while at California State University in Northridge.
