PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Self-taught, both, as an artist and a welder. In 2023, I realized that I could make art with discarded automobile, motorcycle, bicycle parts and basically any metal. I discovered a passion for recycling/upcycling. With the use of social media, I have sold art into 18 states, England, the south of France, Italy, Australia, and Uruguay. Locally, I have won two "People's Choice Awards" (voted by the judges) from the City of Brownsville's "Keep Brownsville Beautiful Annual Recycled Art Competition" for 2024, and 2025.
