From a combination of experiences with being socially inept from some of  my own ethnic culture, rejected by mainstream religion,  for being peculiar and gaining a military background, my creative skills resulted tto becoming more diverse, in both traditional and digital media.. My attention to detail shines through in some of my action adventure/ science fiction/fantasy themes, and  military memorabilia, which captivates pop culture enthusiasts. Driven by a desire to inspire those struggling to find their purpose due to oppression and underrepresentation, I am committed to creating illustrations, preferably graphic novels and children's storybooks, that shed light on these issues. Residing in the Denver Metro area, I continue to refine my artistic skills earning a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. As a member of the Veterans Arts Council at VFW Post 1,  I showcase my work and freelances as The Starling Art Collective, specializing in murals, canvas paintings, branding designs, and more,!
