I am a San Antonio based, self taught, sustainable assemblage artist that mines, repurposes & redefines unconventional, quotidian materials from the urban wasteland and fuses them together in unexpected combinations to create poetic, abstract sculptural portraits of our society. Using simple woodworking practices, light engineering and basic artistic techniques, I produce small, subtle pieces that don’t overtly express a meaning or have a fixed purpose or intent. A unique feature of my contemporary artwork is that my intricate, yet minimalistic assemblages almost always appear mask or face-like. 

The faces do not represent demons chasing me or angels coming to save me. They are not people I have lost, or found, or hope to one day find.  They are not  based on friends, family members, or strangers I have encountered while traversing through life.  They are the faces of everyone and no one.  Just as I am...they are.

I draw inspiration from my not so complicated past, factious present, and anticipated future.  Hence, a variety of noticeable influences can be seen throughout my catalog of work, including the Blackish experience in America, the rich culture of South Central Texas (where I have lived for more than half my life),  music - mainly gospel, old school R&B and hip hop, and although not intentionally, both pre-millennial pop culture and stories from the Bible.  I think it is also important to note that my recent more than a decade-long tenure as a high school teacher required close and in depth daily interaction with members of the post millennial subculture. So on some deep, dark subconscious level, I believe that experience greatly affects my creative works as well.

My innovative combination of  found, everyday objects always result in fantastical, quirky, and sometimes eccentric pieces that one could never tell were made from items previously discarded.   Individually, or grouped together, my sculptures can adorn both small and/or large spaces, instantly creating a sense of magical wonder, while maintaining an element of simplistic beauty. 

Sustainability, craft JOY and ethical art futurism (infusing rescued construction debris, salvaged wood and metal, and repurposed plastic and textiles) lie at the heart of all my work.

I am a member of the Art of 4, a Black art initiative organized by Maria M. Williams, Founder and Curator of In the Eye of the Beholder (EOTB) Art Gallery and Studio.  In addition to being a resident EOTB gallery artist,  I also served as the EOTB Gallery Ambassador (2022-23)

My work has been showcased at the San Antonio International Airport, SA Council District 2 Main Office, Visit San Antonio, the Witte Museum,  Artpace San Antonio, as well as part of many local, state, national and international artists’ exhibitions and events.  In addition, University Health System San Antonio acquired multiple pieces of my artwork to be a part of its permanent collection and is featured in the “Bubble Room” at the new  Women & Children's Hospital.   I have been a guest educator and workshop facilitator at the McNay Art Museum (10/2022)..
