I joined the US Army in 2005. I was a water purification specialist. When discharged from the Army I was an E5. I have always been active in some sort of arts.

My first love is music and I started guitar lessons when I was about 10 years old. My second love is comedy but painting is a whole different way of expressing myself.

I began painting in about 2017 where I found it as a relaxing meditative way to create. Art has made such an amazing impact on my life. It is something that I look forward to doing. Giving me something to wake up for.

I had an art instructor, Glenys Medina who worked with me for a few years but since the pandemic a lot changed in my world. So of late my mother has been encouraging me to paint. My favorite is pouring art.
