I’ve been doing art my whole life. My older sister always drew eyes, so I’ve always included eyes in my art. I’m partially color-blind, which means that I can’t see the difference between blue and purple, or between red and brown. I use spray paint and I rely on the name of the color that’s written on the can. Because of this color-blindness, I like to paint in vibrant colors. I was born and raised in San Diego, and recently I’ve been really working to get my art out.

In this painting I’ve incorporated my street art characters. I wanted to show them all together, holding hands, to show peace and unity. I love to do psychedelic, trippy artwork images. When I made this piece, the interesting thing to me will be to find out what other people see that I don’t.
