History: I was born in San Francisco California. My family moved from 2yr post to post for my dad’s work we went from Washington DC to La Paz Bolivia in South America to Kathmandu Nepal and then Dacca Bangladesh in Asia then to Guatemala City in Central America finally returning to DC in the middle of my 8^th grade through High School in the suburbs of DC. Between my sophomore year and senior year, I attended 2 commercial summer art programs, at RIZDY and at the Corcoran school of the arts in DC prior to my senior year at High School, also completing an original mural in the school during the 11^th grade. My senior year at High School I was chosen from my school as the Artist to attend a vigorous half day art program with a select group of students each one an Artist from a different high school in the DC Maryland area. At age 17 I moved to NYC to study art at Parsons as my parents moved to Ouagadougou the capital of Burkina Faso in West Africa which I visited qualifying as a minor till I was 21. During these trips I was detained beyond my vacation due to continuing Coups and was under government curfews and travel restrictions. After attending one semester at Parsons, I switched to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and became a fine art major. I completed 2 years of art college, left school started singing in bands for amusement fully dedicating my life to my Art working part time jobs to keep growing my work. I have had ups and downs, but I am glad Brooklyn NY is still my home.
