Artist and Art Teacher based in Rochester, NY

   I create mixed media narrative portrait drawings that combine traditional fine-art techniques with the visual language of graffiti and street culture. I use charcoal portraiture to capture what once was and what still is, while challenging perspectives and experiences that are often overlooked.

   My work reflects my upbringing, utilizing graffiti and multimedia as a symbol of past time, minority culture, while simultaneously questioning the boundaries of the fine-art world. I want to challenge fine art while giving unheard stories of my upbringing a place to be seen, remembered, and reimagined.
