Hello!

I was born in Vallejo, California and raised here in Arizona since I was around 4 years old. I am very proud to call this my home. Coming from an entire family of creatives, I have been very passionate about art since I was very young. I practiced drawing every single day, and I never stopped trying to learn. Very early on, I started taking requests and suggestions for art pieces and making them a reality. Throughout my grade school and high school years, I was producing complete portraits for other students during class time. My teachers showcased my art in their classrooms and always urged me to pursue my passion.

 

I have dabbled in a lot of freelance work throughout the course of life. My first professional work came in my early adult years by drawing realistic memorial portraits of people's lost loved ones, which entailed a certain level of detail and being able to capture a little bit of life in each piece. Some of my work was showcased at Phelony Art Gallery in the Tucson Mall. I was hired as an artist do draw at the gallery's entrance to entice people in and create more foot traffic. Today, I am the owner and sole designer of Gripset Skate Co. 

​

Currently I am pursuing a degree in Graphic Design at Pima Community College, so can really hone in on my skills and focus on my career in creativity.
