Ruminant Walk About Painting

I grew up in Los Angeles and currently live in the Joshua Tree desert. I am an artist with physical and mental disabilities and identify as transqueer or nonbinary. I am also completely self-taught. I have been a drummer and an artist my entire life. I've toured the U.S. and Canada, and performed for large audiences, played groove/R&B/Hip Hop, jazz, rock n' roll, and studied with notable drummers, musicians, and producers. Earlier in life, I worked as a cutter in the garment industry with my family, beginning at age eleven. I wound up without a formal education and am completely self-taught, but have always been very self-determined. Along with making art, I also create handmade Artist's books. They've been widely collected and placed in major museum and university collections around the world. You can see them on my website at esart.com.
