Artist Statement of Work
Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):
My work is a story told with intense colors, symbols and patterns that are the palette of my cultural surroundings.
Growing up on the west side of San Antonio left me with many visual memories of a simple life filled with family traditions, imaginative play, deep rooted faith, and challenges that could only be conquered through hard work.
I seek to represent and interpret these experiences through a continuum of color and graphic contrasts that convey their emotional impact on the hopes and dreams of life lived between two cultures.
