I was born in Mexico City in 1963 and brought to the United States in the mid 70's, by my parents, when I was 13 years old. I attended my first art class in the late 80's, while at CSULA, and found it to be life changing. It was through art that I discovered a visual language that allowed me to finally express thoughts and ideas that I had not been able to express before. I participated in several art shows and exhibits during the late 80's and early 90's. However, I stopped making art in 1994 to focus on work and family. In January of 2010 my passion for making art was reignited and over the past seven years I've had the opportunity to show my work in multiple galleries in the Los Angeles area. I've also participated in art festivals in Tijuana and Rosarito Mexico. And my work has been published in the LA County Latino Heritage Month Calendar of Events on repeated occasions.
