About
Self Taught artist graduated from the school of hard knocks. I am a maker at heart and a painter from the start. Sculpture designs are where it at for me inspired by pop out books as a kid and as I grew up I got inspired by tattoo culture which is noticable in my sculpture designs. The finished product is cast resin and spray painted with some acrylic details and a little sparkle added. I also make my own frames out of wood that I distress by grinding, torching and staining. I have a knack of branching out of traditional mediums and mixing it up a bit. My first artistic adventure was as a kid dumpster diving for fabric for my grandmother who was a seamstress but also hand sewed throw pillows out of small fabric squares. That led me to collect my own trash and turn it into treasures of my own and to eventually share with the world.

I grew up in Hialeah/Miami/Fort Lauderdale Florida on both sides of the tracks. There was an industrial factory district on the next block from home that became a wonderland playground of inspiration from dumpster diving for trash to turn into treasure. I also lived in LA and worked in the film industry as a prop designer and worked on sets for musicians videos on MTV. I have showed in many galleries but my first was an ultra modern furniture gallery for interior designers. I have worked many hard working jobs but I always had a dream to make my art I to a real business. I am a father and have three cats. I love nature and have always studied plants my whole life which led me to be a Park Ranger for the state of Florida teaching environmental education. Love you all.
