Thank you for looking at my art!

I am an artist located in Austin, TX (USA). I can ship almost anywhere in the world, please contact me for a quote if you live outside of the USA.

I work primarily with oil paint but sometimes I do watercolors, acrylics and pencil. Nature is my main inspiration and I use it to create surrealist as well as realistic artworks.

My goal is to have my customers enhance their surroundings by bringing home (or office) a painting that will bring them joy and make them feel inspired.

In 1997 I graduated as a graphic designer from Universidad Vasco de Quiroga in Morelia, Mexico. In 1998 I was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study illustration in the USA. I finished my master's degree in fine arts (illustration) at the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2000.

I have worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for newspapers, printing companies, advertising agencies, as well as lots of freelacing.

I currently dedicate most of my creative time to produce my personal work. I have been very fortunate to show my work in several galleries. These are some of them:
