Artist's Statement
First generation, born in New York City of Honduran ancestry, I have been painting for 34 years and I am a self-taught artist.
As a, portrait, figurative, and abstract artist, I enjoy painting ethnic themes as in portraits of indigenous people in ceremony, landscapes of the Northern New Mexico, and monotype printing of abstracts. My dreams and the land that surrounds me have inspired my work. The meditative state that I evolve into when I sit before the canvas when I paint adds life and vitality to the work. What is inside of me and what comes through me is spirit manifesting color and images onto the canvas. The introduction of monochromatic prints has given me a new dimension to the work, which in and of itself is a splendor to do!
