I'm an artist currently living in Austin, TX. I've moved around a few places but I grew up in Albuquerque, NM where I was exposed to rich cultural history and plenty of fractal vistas. I excelled at math as a kid, but by high school I really didn't enjoy it and I hated the idea of doing that for the rest of my life. I could feel something else stirring in me that needed to happen, but I didn't understand what it was at the time.

​

 I discovered a love for image-making and I was able to see for the first time that being an artist was a viable path for me to go down. All of my bottled up emotions came flooding out after years and years of stuffing them down. In all the time since then, I have never looked back from being an artist or doubted that it was for me.

I create work in a style I’ve coined Halftonism, which involves the artistic use of halftones. Halftones are a mechanical process used in commercial printing, where a repeating on/off pattern (often small dots) creates the illusion of smooth gradients. I’ve taken this concept  and made it expressive by scaling up the pattern. When my art is seen up close, the pattern dominates the viewer’s experience, but from a distance the underlying image emerges. The pattern itself can take various forms—lines, fractals, symbolism, or even text—as long as it maintains an approximately even spacing. It’s this juxtaposition between the pattern and the image that gives my work deeper meaning.
