These two paintings were experiments and practice in spray painting. I wanted to see if I was able to paint a portrait just using a can. These are a lot larger that I was used to which lead to issues in transportation (which is never fun).

The subjects are a comedian, in Tony Loud, and a fellow muralist in Matt Gondek.

These portraits depict two individuals in the Worcester community who have done tremendous work to not only build community but also help eliminate issues in our society. This was a part of the larger Who is Worcester? project

This is a personal piece that lets the viewer in on a glimpse of my life, as told through a younger SNAX (el chico morado). Since moving to the United States in the late 80s, my grandmother has not returned back home. She has lived in the urban jungle of New York City and seems to be mentally stuck. She has no desire to leave the apartment let alone explore the city around her. She used to leave only to take me to the park or go shopping for groceries. In this scene, the younger SNAX blissfully parades around the streets, unaware of her internal, adult struggles. He skips towards a magic-like, confetti that's color scheme is that of the Colombian flag. While to SNAX, this means breaking away from the city life and reconnection to his culture and a desire to be a part of that, to my grandmother, this represents the end as she will most likely only go back to the country to be buried.

When I hear “Black Excellence” I think of creatives — Black creatives who are now household names who’ve cemented themselves in history because of their knowledge, persistence and love for their craft. When I think of Black Excellence, I think of Hip Hop. I think of poetry. I think of Art. When I hear Black Excellence, I think of Maya Angelou, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Erykah Badu. These three people have been important to my life in various ways and have each been a great source of conceptual inspiration. This was painted live during the Holy Cross Black Student Union Met Gala Event in 2022.

I wanted to challenge myself using a unique, classic, and, unforgivable material while still depicting my signature character, SNAX. Some of my favorite parts include the fluorescent blue bounce light present on the bear-cat’s face and the bright red sash crossing the piece.

I painted a scene from my childhood with a funny twist to create a sense of confusion but a sense of safety.

This was an in class still life assignment. This piece makes fun of the phrase "mouse trap" and, instead, depicts a set-up that aims to get a cat to comply with its nails being cut short.
