"Born and raised in, and around Los Angeles.

I am a surreal and abstract artist..I do not have much of a formal art background. My earliest memories of my first drawings are from about at age 7.

I dropped out of high school at 16 and fell in love with drugs..after what seemed to be a year or so of mixed up memories, which felt like dreams and real memories that now feel fake, I enrolled myself in Adult School and received a High school diploma.

A year later I began studying visual arts at Los Angeles City College and dropped out in less than a year. I grew tired of making color wheels and still life's of trash in dimmed lights.

Feeling lost and blue, I began with abstract paintings tried other medias and loved charcoal and ink.

My drawings and paintings are very different. All my abstract paintings show emotions -heart break, desire, lose, love and romance. My surreal drawings are stories, memories, and sort of like souvenirs from my dreams and imagination..I think what inspires me the most is my depression and love.

I am currently studying Fashion Design and plan on dropping out soon, to paint and work with larger scale canvases and in the process hope to find myself.."
