As an artist, I try to bring the life that surrounds me into my work. I have a strong belief in diversity of culture and preservation of languages. I live in a region that has a variety of cultures and ethnic groups, some of which are indigenous to the region. It brings a richness and beauty that matches the variety of the surrounding physical landscape here in the southwest of the country. Creating is a joy and a pleasure particularly when both children and adults are able to enjoy it together.

I am currently an instructor at Coconino Community College in Flagstaff, Arizona. Teaching digital visual design, drawing and art appreciation.
