Bio

As a child I painted monkeys, cows, creatures, and landscapes.

As a child I painted monkeys, cows, creatures, and landscapes. Through the years I continued with landscapes and anything my clients wanted. Living in a very flat area of Texas, my landscapes were 10% land and 90% sky. I never get tired of painting the towering clouds against the intensely azure Texas sky. Later, I started doing geometric oil paintings with as many as 576 different colors.

Without using any pattern, I sewed a huge 12' x 12' quilt. Each piece was added then cut off at random. My biggest project is 3 statues, 7.5 feet tall each. Each statue has an usual head shape, and is covered with pieces of sequin clothing. Their boots are covered with mink fur or hanging sequins.

My art education is in graphic design which prepared me for digital art. When I started creating NFTs, I did a series of drawings of the blue jays in my backyard, using Photoshop. I am also doing a series of 52 La Lotería card NFTs. La Lotería is a Mexican Bingo game popular here in San Antonio, Texas, which has recently become a fun, campy art format. I also made several frame animation NFTs.

CryptoPunk collectors have been requesting paintings of their beloved 24x24 pixel CryptoPunks, so I am doing those in acrylic on 24"x24" canvases. By request from a collector, I created a frame animation of his CryptoPunk collection morphing into each other, pixel by pixel.
