From South Texas to New York City.

I was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley; more specifically Edinburg, Tx. I’ve always known I wanted to be an artist in one way or another. I’m still not sure how I managed to do it, but with a lot of help and support from my loved ones, I was able to move to New York City. I began acting in community theatres around the city, and eventually went to Circle in the Square Theatre School.

Then the pandemic hit. I was stuck at home as everybody else was. I knew I needed a new camera to up my self-tape quality, so I purchased a cheap Canon DSLR. I used it to take self-tapes of course- but then got bored one day and started taking some self-portraits. I’d done a lot of artistic self expression through acting- but the following photos were my first taste of what it was like to express myself through photography.
