As a professional artist from California, I created a style of my own that does not follow traditional rules. I paint with opaque watercolors and acrylics with various mediums that generate vivid imagery.

The foundation of my art is the simplicity of sketching. Using my automotive engineering design background, I teach students the power of sketching with fluidity, motion, and rhythm. This technique will help define your own unique style. It is very important to have a style that separates you from other artist. I teach you to find your voice and embrace it because longevity and consistency is key in the art world.

I've had many successes as an artist from being feature on award winning wines to illuminating the walls of fine restaurants and salons. My true passion is painting live at nightclubs, bars, or any place where the atmosphere is electric and music fills the air.. in other words, “the ultimate art studio“. In addition to being a professional artist, I worked as a gallery assistant for 15 years in San Diego California where I learned exhibition preparation, marketing, and teaching classes in the teen art program.

I am also a freelance photographer and videographer and founded a video group in Barcelona where I use my artistic eye to capture to study the art of cinematography in one of the most beautiful cities in Southern Europe. As an artist, it is key to document your process and growth. I teach the basics of videography and lighting to promote and share your content with the world!
