Growing up in a small town in the Dominican Republic, where visual art was scarce, my friends and I would create our own adventures with just pen and paper. This passion for storytelling carried me through many adversities and setbacks, especially after relocating to New York City, where I was discouraged from pursuing art by the American public school system.

Despite the challenges, I persisted. Art became my therapy, and through practice and dedication, I developed my unique style and technique. What started as simple drawings evolved into elaborate adventures, fueling my creativity and ultimately leading me to become a full-time illustrator and concept artist.

Now, with over a decade of experience, I express myself through my work and help others bring their ideas to life. Having struggled to find guidance as a child, I am dedicated to supporting others on their artistic journeys. Whether it's through GorillaSketch, my creative hub, or helping others in the Sketch&Loot Club on Patreon, I’m committed to making art accessible and inspiring for everyone.

Self-taught artist with a passion for creating art that inspires and uplifts.
