I moved to NOLA over a year ago and have been looking for places to show my work. I work in the following mediums: Illustration (marker and prisma color), Painting, Mixed media collage and I design costumes and masks. Here's a little more about me and my work:
Born in San Francisco, California, in 1973, and raised in Texas. Art has always been an essential element in my life. My passion began as a child and grew in High School, where my art was exhibited in two student shows and published in the art and literary magazine. I went on to study fashion design at the University of North Texas, where I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts, in 1999. At UNT, I was awarded the Faculty Award for most improved student and the Stanley Heller NAMSB Award for excellence in men’s wear design. After completing my degree at UNT, I attended the Paris Fashion Institute, in France, and received a certificate of completion. When I returned from Paris, I showed small collections in two local Dallas designer shows. For the past 2 years I have been working in film. I received commissions to do three murals, several paintings and illustrations over the past fifteen years. I am currently residing in New Orleans.
Infused with references to fashion, music, nature, religion, death, and travels; my work fragments these elements into collaged images. Consequently, I create art that floats between fantasy and reality. A key element in my work is the aspect of people. With the use of bold brush strokes and color, my pieces showcase a figurative, expressionistic style. I incorporate anime, textiles and graffiti as well. Using acrylic paint, prisma color pencils, markers and relevant objects, my work can range from small illustrations to large collages.
My intention is to make a statement. Art that continues to combine my life experiences through collage, illustration and painting. Currently, I am focusing on the idea of recycling: bringing an objective status to something that was once discarded and elevating it to a position of artistic value. This work has a conceptual bias in waste, mass production and consumerism, therefore raising the issue concerning recycling items rather than discarding and abandoning them. This idea has evolved into updating older works and giving them new life. My goal is to continue exploring these elements by fusing art and fashion together with recycled objects.
