He received his MFA in architecture from Virginia Tech and a BFA from Florida International University in ceramics and art history. He spent most of his earlier career practicing architecture, teaching college, high school and exhibiting nationally. Jorge works in clay, cold wax and encaustic monotypes, which have received numerous awards. Artist Statement: My work is about stories and journeys: those that I take and the journey that the artwork has been in my studio. The mark-making, colors, textures and structures of each story dictate the development of my artwork that, while predominately abstract, is based on reality. The shapes and lines are born from places and objects, broken down and transformed into something new. I use this interplay between marks and materials to create tensions through emotions to explore, select and then piece together a final image. I invite you to pause awhile and consider taking your own journey through the narratives I create. New Mexico artists are amazing!
