I am a Mexican-American artist and designer based in San Jose. My earliest memories of Halloween come from my parents telling me that a dancing skeleton decoration was actually my twin brother. As an only child, I think that explains a lot about how I wound up here.

My fascination with special effects and horror fueled my path to becoming a sculptor in my early teenage years. I began making my own figures and costume pieces with paper mache and ceramics before moving on to oil based clay and casting.

I created Mendoza's Monsters in 2017 to pursue my art seriously and share it with the world.
