“When he was young, his artistic talent often surprised his family. After finishing school, he studied communications in Santurce, Puerto Rico. Later, he moved to Boston to study architectural design and glassblowing. He thrived in the creative environment at MassArt.

 

But after two semesters, he had an accident that forced him to pause his studies. During his recovery, he took time off and eventually began working in customer service at the Boston Children’s Museum.

 

In 1990, he moved to Miami Beach. The sunshine helped lift his spirits. Not long after, he got a chance to fulfill a childhood dream by working at the Castillo Serrallés Museum. There, he played a creative role in launching a new Museum of Rum and Sugar Cane, including its reception area.

 

He went on to design exhibits for various museums in Puerto Rico in preparation for the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s arrival in the Americas. Later, he traveled to Mexico City, where he studied Baroque art and painted live in the Zona Rosa art district.

 

Back in Puerto Rico, he managed a metaphysical bookstore and worked as a freelance artist. Then, The Walt Disney Company hired him to work in food service at the Magic Kingdom in Florida. Eventually, he moved to the Walt Disney Travel Company, where he gained access to Disney’s computer systems and learned about many of its artistic practices, from bonsai trimming to fireworks design.

 

While visiting his brother in San Diego, he took on a project to paint a church dome in Playas de Tijuana. He completed the work and stayed in San Diego to paint murals. Later, he moved to Long Beach and began teaching art to children through the First Congregational Church.

 

After spending some time in the San Bernardino Forest, he relocated to Palm Springs. There, he created a new body of work and showed it in several exhibitions, including the Palm Springs Art Museum, Silica Studios (pottery and sculpture), and the Desert Art Center (pointillism).

 

At age 50, one of his photographs was included in a virtual exhibition at the Louvre in July 2015. He later moved to Joshua Tree and opened a 1,500-square-foot studio for painting and sculpture. He showed work in local galleries and worked at a fine art supply store, offering advice on archival art materials.

 

He took a break to live and work on art projects in the Dominican Republic, then returned to Palm Springs, where he painted another dome for a local venue. Today, he continues to exhibit his work—especially his pointillist paintings on vintage leather shoes and his oil, acrylic, and watercolor pieces.

 

In December 2024, he traveled to Paris for the first time. One of his photos was accepted into a virtual salon there. In July 2025, he will hold a solo exhibition at Oscar’s, a well-known venue in Palm Springs. His current goal is to raise enough money from his art sales to fund a six-month artist residency in Paris.”
