His family moved to Idaho when He was 10 years old, Idaho is where he began his professional career as a muralist/sign/ and atmosphere creator making his mark on the face of the Nampa Cultural Center with a 3000sqft Mural of the Quetzalcoatl in 2020 the end of the Mayan Calendar. In 2022 Him and his family of 3 moved to San Antonio where He won his current house with a love letter (rivaling investors that were buying houses without even looking at them) and was faced with the challenge of starting over again. In San Antonio he returned to his roots of studying multiple subjects (like in kindergarten) and is now currently working on a Mural for Hemisfair called “The love letter” a piece about his journey into himself/ San Antonio/ and the Human Race. He continues to podcast and is about to release his updated podcast called “Reality Alchemist” where he interviews disciplines that strike his interests and show honor to the his guests and their passions by asking deep meaningful questions along with funny stories and jokes to let the conversion breath.

Artist Statement of Work
Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):
"Friendship" As I grow so does my mission as an artist. I know lots of people on the precipice of their own unique greatness. I want to capture a glimpse of that metamorphosis within the individuals I meet with the podcasts I host and the friendships I intentionally cultivate.
My work hits every touch point (in branding language) but more or less every sense within the five senses most of us have. Tackling the large work of world building in a book I'm writing and doing research for has opened up a playground of insight that I'm integrating into my mural work, inventions, product design, music and sound design, and recipes in the kitchen!
This world needs healing and we are paradoxically "the problem" and "the solution" but if we choose to love in a mutual beneficial Friendship with all creeds all species down to the very atoms that we share, we all win the heart of this earth and finally learn to let her heal us.
We Are Distinct, We Are ONE
