First Time Here?

Dear visitor,

This blog helps my supporters track the progress of new projects. For example, last year my 16 Puerto Rican Portraits project was funded thanks to a Kickstarter campaign, and I was able complete the first part of the portraits for this show in the island. Learn more about this show.

I paint murals with high school-aged youth during summer and fall in collaboration with local non-profits. Keeping a blog is part of the documentation required by funding sources. You can see photos of past murals in the public art page.
