I was born and raised in Mexico where I studied fine arts. I've been teaching art to adults and kids with disabilities for over a decade. Nowadays I am the art coordinator at Balance and Prime Horizon, two local day programs that support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I also guide painting parties at different locations in Ozaukee County.  I became a Cedarburg Art Museum Board Director in October 2022 and I also serve on the POP (Paint on Port) committee, a mural program in Port Washington.  In my free time I bartend at the Moonlight Tavern and Tellos in Port Washington.
