I was born in a time and place where being an artist was not appreciate.As a young boy I would practice with whatever materials I could find.When I was 14 years old I enrolled into one of the most prestigious art schools in Guayaquil,Ecuador and studied under one renowned Ecuadorian artist.I came to USA when I was 16 years old.My training since high school included courses in watercolors at Mary Mount College,fashion illustrations at FIT and color technique at the Alpha Workshops.
