Corpus’s current work, “Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon,” consists of large and small-scale portraits of Rio Grande Valley students, many DREAMers, created from handmade charcoal from burnt branches found near the Rio Grande River and water from the River itself.
These drawings have been shown in multiple places around the Valley including Festival Internacional de Poesía Latinoamericana, South Texas College, and the Brownsville Museum of Fine Art. The series has been received with overwhelming acclaim.
Corpus was born and raised in Corpus Christi, TX, in 1980. Corpus is a US Marine Veteran, having made a transition from boots to brushes, and also has his MA from Texas A&M University Corpus Christi. He now resides in Mcallen, TX and is an Art Instructor with South Texas College.
