BIOGRAPHY

Based in San Diego, California. I am a Designer and a Collage artist who graduated in 2009 in Graphic Arts. During the course, I developed an appreciation for collage and explored a rich and diverse array of mixed media techniques.

After graduating, my creative interests began to turn to fine art, particularly mixed media collage. While working as a Graphic Designer for sites as skreened and Urban Outfitters Printshop, my interest in collage continued to develop and by 2009 it became the focus of my endeavors.

Working mediums include retro images, illustrations, vectors and colors. The work is highly textured and often multi-layered with a nostalgic and weathered quality. My work can often be vibrant with color. Working methods also extend to digital collage with a very gritty and realistic display of texture and layering. The digital work began as an experiment in blurring the line between handmade collage and digital collage.

Other work includes freelance packaging, brand identity, design and art commissions for various clients including websites, galleries institutes and fashion industry.

Exhibitions include solo shows and group shows in San Diego, California. Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Washington DC and Miami. My works have been published in numerous high profile Art Magazines and Books, and some of my works are held by private collectors worldwide.
