It all started when my mom would take me and my brother to after school classes at MECA in Houston, TX. I was around 7 years old when introduced to different forms of art including origami, Mexican cultural art, printmaking and even working on collaborative murals with a professional artist. Going to MECA allowed me to receive an acceptance letter into the High School of Performing and Visual Arts.
MECA is located in Old Six Ward and still offers alternative arts activities for the city’s youth and families.
