“I use a bunch of different mediums pretty much anything I can make art out of. I started out of with acrylic and then kin of got into oil a little bit and then ceramics and just keeps on going,” Ramos said. “Just things I pass by everyday and over the years I never really payed attention to and then one day I drive by it and realize how much I’ve missed over the years and that’s usually what I paint.”
