Estevan moved from Las Vegas, New Mexico to Albuquerque in 2007 to attend UNM where he earned a bachelor’s in fine arts in 2014. He swiftly took himself to the world of Drag where he could branch out and excel in the realms of make-up, clothing, sleight of hand, and pageantry. Estevan served as Empress 26 and is well known locally and nationally for his performances, pageant wins, and community service. Estevan shared his design skills at Pottery Barn, where he worked for nearly fifteen years, at our very own Uptown ABQ location. He now works from home in HR, for the Forestry Service of the Department of Agriculture.
In 2024, Black Wall Gallery hosted Estevan’s first show, for which he created 61 original acrylic works on canvas. Most recently he helped with set creation at Adobe Theatre for “The Red Velvet Cake Wars.” He is ecstatic to work with Soft Corners Studio Center for his second show, and to have his first two shows in one year! To say Estevan is overjoyed is an understatement. All these blessings he greatly appreciates, and he hopes his art fills viewers and collectors with joy!
