My name is Raymond Ortiz and I began making art since I was a child from the first moment I could hold a crayon. Though growing up I never considered or labeled myself an artist. I came more into art during high school when I became fascinated with urban street art. I quickly found myself getting to know the graffiti scene very well and I even became a part of it. During the end of my college career I found something was missing from my life and that was a consistent art background grounded in methods and techniques that I knew intuitively but couldn’t really grasp without some guidance. It was during this time that I began to explore figure drawing, oil/ acrylic painting, and mixed media.
