I am a musician, songwriter, photographer, filmmaker, writer, visual artist, and experimenter in anything I can get my hands on. I graduated from MSU with a major in photography but spent a lot of time in ceramics, drawing, and printmaking. I love a good story. My dad is an amazing storyteller so in some way, the core of all my interests is the desire to tell a good story.

I am an art therapy teacher in a forensic psychiatric hospital. Art has always been a part of my life though never as deeply and as healing as with my current job. In the past I mainly stayed with using graphite and colored pencil for portrait work. In the recent 5 years I have branched out to different mediums as well as getting into abstract painting. I painted around 15 murals/wall art for the North Texas State Hospital Juvenile facility. I would like to get more involved in art culture and mural work with the community.

From murals to crocheting, I like to keep myself busy creating! Self-taught artist from OKC who loves working with traditional mediums such as ink, fibers, pencil, chalk pastels, but favorite being oil pastel.

I received my BFA with Teacher Certification from Midwestern State University in 2014. For four years I taught high school art. I specialize in ceramic sculpture, painting, and printmaking. In my imagery, I use local wildlife to reflect upon art history, various cultures, society, and relationships.

Caribbean Artist in Texas.

As long as I can remember I have always been drawn to art and handmade objects. As young person I spent hours and hours drawing, taking apart discarded objects and building with Lego blocks. I also loved visiting the library. Often times I would take home books on art, animals, machines and other sorts. I would often wander up and down the aisle looking for books that would catch my eye. One such book was “The Living Tradition of Maria Martinez”. I was fascinated by her and her family’s pottery. Years later after working as a carpenter and bringing home scrap pieces of exotic woods. I decided to try segmented woodturning.

I especially love western and Southwest art in all its forms. My leather work, drawing and Oil paintings, my lapidary and silverwork all are heavily influenced from that love to a heavy degree.

I am a recent Midwestern State University graduate. I completed my degree with a BFA-TC and my emphasis was painting. Now, I am seeking to further my art career and take hold of opportunities that will aid me in doing so. My art is usually focused on BIPOC people and their voices. Yet, as someone who is also a part of that community, I also share my own voice in my works as well. I also speak on the topic of mental health. I like using contrasting sets of colors such as greyscale versus vibrant pastel tones.
