ARTIST INFORMATION:
I am a self taught painter, collage and assemblage artist. My work is influenced by my formal education in Spanish, Hispanic Literature and Culture. My postgraduate personal experience with travel throughout South Central Mexico as well as work and friendship with local Mexican immigrant populations has provided stronger inspiration.
