in the universe of
the aesthetic,
and I attempt in
some form to express the inexpressible and to
inspire the soul to
loftier heights in a world that hungers for beauty in
the Divine.
I was born, raised
Catholic and educated in
Los Angeles
California
as a third generation
Los Angelino of Irish and
Hispanic descent,
tracing my roots back to Ireland,
Spain and Mexico.
With pride I claim
many artists, poets and writers
in my ancient
lineage, such as the
renowned Spanish
renaissance poet,
Garcilaso de la
Vega and his cousin the Inca historian
by the same name.
I received a Master of
Fine Arts Degree
from the Los
Angeles County Otis Art Institute.
For many years, I
actively worked on commission
creating monumental
contemporary Sacred Art for churches
throughout the country.
