I was born in the back seat of a station wagon on the side of the road in the Philippines. From there, my parents moved around a bit until they landed in my dad's hometown of McKinney, Texas, where my two sisters and I were raised. After high school, I left McKinney and swore I'd never go back. Austin, Los Angeles, Virginia, Boston, and New York were my homes for several years while I attended school and worked as an architect, but now, of course, I've returned to Texas.
About
My work is an adventure, a journey. Rarely do I have a clear image in mind when I begin a new piece, and I am usually surprised by the final outcome. I let my process drive my work, packing it with the many things I think about and the things I’m interested in. I am fascinated with the amazing world we live in and the mysteries of life, and my work is an exploration into the astonishing complexity of it all. I frequently set up artificial rules in a piece, and then break them with delight. Juxtapositions of chaos and order, beauty and ugliness, seduction and repulsion, harmony and contradiction: these things fascinate me.
