I had the opportunity to gift Devon a charcoal portrait during his Memoir, Work in Progress, book tour. Lots of nerves were involved while standing in line for almost 2 hours. Every moment worth it.

From the BRONX to DC, I made sure to capture this moment. Thank you, Devon.

Portrait of Charlie 🐾
24 x 30 in. | Oil on Canvas
My largest commissioned piece to date.

Elegant, realistic, and rich. Every detail of Charlie was painted with intention, with the goal of capturing not only his likeness, but his presence.

I’m incredibly thankful to my client for trusting me with such a special work of art and for allowing me to be part of the journey from the canvas to the final presentation. Seeing my work professionally framed by @allen_frame and standing beside the finished piece was truly a surreal moment in my career as an artist.

A painting I’ll always be proud of. Captured beautifully by @hd.soc

🖼️ AN ARTIST IN HER ELEMENT 🖼️

The moment I’ve been waiting for…the reveal of my second largest piece. Loaded with passion, determination, persistence, faith & desire; I was able to deliver this piece after “failing” multiple times. I say fail because my expectations were not met at the time, so I took my chances and executed it after trying 3 times! 🙏🏼 Some projects are easier than others, but that’s part of the journey of being a successful artist.

I’d like to express my gratitude towards the Smithsonian American Art Museum ( @americanart ) for having me.

📸 Surrounded by all art mediums and remarkable artists, I’d also like to shoutout the artist behind the lense: @belvederephoto ⭐️Thank you for capturing a historic moment in my career.

Donde la cultura, la memoria y el arte se encuentran.

A mixed-media interpretation of Guatemala’s timeless beauty — layered with acrylic, sculpted detail, architecture, movement, and light. Every texture was intentionally built to preserve feeling, not just scenery. 🇬🇹

✨ CALLE FINA ✨

There’s nothing quite like the fusion of classic architecture and automotive precision. This hand-painted 3D piece brings a sleek Honda S2000 to the vibrant, cobblestone streets of Antigua, Guatemala, positioned perfectly under the iconic Santa Catalina Arch. 🇬🇹

The contrast between the modern lines of the convertible and the historic, golden hues of the “Calle del Arco” creates a timeless vibe that any car enthusiast or art lover can appreciate.

Title: “Calle Fina”
Dimensions: 16” x 20”
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
