Born 1971 in Flagstaff, Arizona, United States.
I have been painting and drawing since I was a young boy. My artwork has always provided me with a visual outlet for depiction where words fail me.
Experiencing many world cultures and special natural areas through extensive travel propelled me into non-profit environmental advocacy, working with groups such as National Audubon Society, Rainforest Action Network and Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition. This environmental background has positively and substantially shaped my work as a painter.

| 关于此艺术家 |
Global cultures, ancient symbolism, indigenous world views, the Earth’s ecosystems and my own world travel deeply inform the subject matter in my paintings. My new works are heavily rooted in depicting neolithic and indigenous imagery invoking ancient Meso-American symbols and natural forms. I bring together ancient symbols, rediscovered indigenous Mayan writings- a reinvention of thought and history. These paintings convey a system of mythological pattern - solid elemental abstract shapes that are linked up with Mayan symbols found in the last four remaining ancient Mayan books or codices. This work is a unique synesthesia, crossing senses or genres, and describe a personal narrative of my own Mexican-American heritage and revive writings and symbols of long ago on materials that live again. |

The quintessential myth figure of Quetzalcoatl grasps hands with a human figure of Mayan royalty. Half man and half god, Quetzalcoatl spans a pantheon of indigenous mythology in Meso-America. |
