| Introduction | I am an artist that navigates between disciplines and am also recognized as an arts/culture specialist. My visual artwork has been exhibited on a local, regional, national, and international level and tends to be large scale. Mediums I enjoy include drawing, painting, mixed media, printmaking, installation work, ceramics, and sculpture. Writing is another passion. My brain enjoys the craft and nuance of writing, triggering several pleasure sensors. Then, there’s music. I mostly sing and am also drawn to the guitar. Pulling these two instruments together is my challenge. As singers know, the voice is the most visceral of musical instruments because music runs through the body. When it’s right, the experience is like no other. Since 1985, I’ve chosen to live, work, create, raise children, and build community in San Francisco. I’m currently working to complete a book, a personal back story to my experiences as a third generation descendant whose grandparents came to the United States in 1914 during The Mexican Revolution. 2003: awarded California Arts Council Visual Arts Fellowship. Since 1974, member of world-renowned Chicano artist collective, Royal Chicano Air Force (RCAF). |
