Meet the Artist
San Francisco, United StatesI’m a San Francisco–based visual artist and muralist working across multiple mediums since 2001, creating custom murals and paintings inspired by nature, local history, architecture, culture, and the people who bring spaces to life. I’ve designed and painted murals for public art programs, schools, private homes, nonprofits, and companies, and I collaborate with clients to create artwork that feels personal, vibrant, and rooted in its surroundings. In addition to my mural work, I’m an oil painter whose work has been exhibited at the de Young Museum, the Peruvian Embassy, and the California Institute of Integral Studies, and my paintings are part of the permanent collections of the City of San Francisco Art Collection and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Arequipa, Peru. My goal is to create artwork that brings warmth, character, and a strong sense of place to every project.
