My work explores perceptions of cultural identity, including aspects of ethnic, familial and societal roles, relating to my Mexican and South Texas heritage.  The subject matter, portrayed through various manifestations including still life, portraiture, and urban landscapes, are a further reference and investigation into personal narratives as a native Texan with Mexican roots.

What a remarkable experience it has been to be part of the group exhibition “Soy de Tejas: A Statewide Survey of Latinx Art” now in its third incarnation. To show alongside such a diverse and incredibly talented group of artists is enriching in so many ways. Big thanks to Rigoberto Luna of Presa House Gallery in San Antonio, TX. for considering and including me in. I am eternally grateful. The exhibition is now on view at The Cheech Center of Chicano Art and Culture in Riverside, CA. Below find a wonderful summation of the exhibition by Jessica Fuentes, Editor in Chair at Glasstire.com. Special thanks to Melissa Richardson Banks, Jessica Fuentes, and of course Cheech for your support. We are all thankful.

I am humbled to have my work selected to be on display at the US Embassy for Hungary in Bucharest as part of the Art-In-Embassies program, sponsored by the US Department of State. I would like to thank the US Ambassador to Romania, Kathleen Kavalec, for inviting me to participate as part of her vision, as well as the curator for the Art-In-Embassies program, Claire D'Alba, for her guidance through the process. Most of all, I would like to thank Mr. Cheech Marin for displaying my work as part of his collection at The Cheech Center for Chicano Art and Culture where Ambassador Kavalec first viewed my work.
