About
A first-generation Mexican-American born in 1993, I am a multimedia artist that experiments with illustration, animation, and video. Coming from a low-income and a varied neurodivergent background, I make work exploring emotional nuances and extremes through the lens of abstract imagery visualizing music and sound. The first in my family to go to college, I received my BFA from Pacific Northwest College of Art in 2016, winning the BFA Thesis Award from the Animated Arts department. Since then, I’ve received the 2018 Fellowship from the Oregon Arts Commission and Oregon Community Foundation in partnership with NW Film Center, and have had my films screened in Punto y Raya Festival’s programs, the Melbourne International Animation Festival, PAMCUT’s Tomorrow Theater, and University of Kentucky Singletary Center for the Arts 2025 Visual Music Festival, among others. Born in Richmond, Texas and raised in the greater Portland-Metropolitan area most of my life, I live in Gresham and work in Portland. When I’m not making videos, either short or shorter-form, I find inspiration by playing retro video games on my computer, watching anime and reading manga, listening to all kinds of music, and sharing memes with friends on the regular. U is for Undone. Self Portrait. Made on Procreate. 2024.
