Artist Statement:
Artists document their lives
in a pictorial or emotional
journal... the pains, sorrows
and joys of their path are
imbedded in their own artwork.
It is an honest historical
documentation of their
perception of reality. It
maybe pleasant, intense,
serene...A painting can be a
life time of poetry, a life
time of viewing or silent
conversation for the viewer.
The thickness of the paint,
the colors, textures,
movement, balance, shape, line
and symmetry or the absence of
it all in a work of art, is
creating something new and
unique. Giving birth to new
idea, that not only represents
life but becomes life. The
poetry of Art always brings
out emotions of the
interactionist. All this
encompasses the viewer, that
is the true artist. For new
each perception is birthed a
new meaning.
Imagine life without creating
art? can't even imagine any
one not believing in it. The
creative process is linked to
the process of solving
problems and opening minds to
science and equations not yet
solved. It opens our evolution
to questioning and solving our
problems, physical and well as
emotional.
It promotes healing and peace.
I do art because I have to.

The Creator.
We are still a work in progress. This scientist/ artist has faith in us. There is pain all around us, hunger and war......painting pleasant things are wonderful, but even my flowers feel the pain. It is not good feeling hungry or beign around others that are hungry and trying to paint.,,but music makes us dance..and there's the blues. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I was born and soon after that I had paint, crayons, mirrors and mud in my hands creating art. I could never stop looking at art, designs on people's clothes or on buildings or pictures of people. As I traveled and studied world cultures, I fell in love with our world and art as a mode of comunication. As an artist/teacher/computer graphic/ survivor, I can not separate my art from my existance. There is not one day that I do not create ART. I create as because I have too. |

| Your Personal Biography |
I do ART because I have too. It is such a strong and powerful medium of communication for me. It is the most creative and inventive way I communicate.
My art work evolves around my experiences of being a Chicana ...extremely tall an our of place within anygroup ,farm worker, Berkeley Graduate,(In the 60's) Breast Cancer Survivor(Twice), mother, wife, and Teacher and now a volunteer worker and senior citizen.I expect the best to come. I am honored to be alive and to experienced President Obama a very intelligent man...finally.
I am not unique. I am only part of the whole. I am also part of the evolutionary process of everything on this EARTH. My paintings are my prayers. They give me strength, I pray when I paint. Giving thanks for the privilege of existence. It has been a difficult road of crucifiction and suffering, but as a comedian, I keep myself entertained and coping.
As I create a work of art, during this final phase of my life, it continues to heal me from the injustices and pains of my evolutionary process. Many that I can not change or solve.It has taken me a life time to realize that I can not always solve the world's problems or others heart aches....but I will never give up trying.
My life has been migratory, not only in terms or the crops as a farm worker, but it terms of my world travels and volunteer work. I have evolved from one point to another, not just physically but also spiritually. I, like every living thing, am part of the ecology system, but also a part the energy that bonds our universe together. My art has also given me strength to understand the “whole” in terms of conception and death …….the spiritual as well as the physical …….”there is no beginning and there is no end”. Life is much greater then our own personal existance....our creativity will take us there.
