Personal Artist Statement:  I am an artist by nature. I am a lifetime resident of San Antonio, Texas.
My parents taught me values, independence and to have self-confidence in everything I do in life. My
current artwork involves the use of gourds and other natural material. My inspiration come from a
combination of nature and historical events. One important decision I made from the very beginning
was not to duplicate my artwork. Just as all gourds are different and unique so are all of the art
pieces I create.
