the main source for my
materials and inspiration
comes from the streets and
highways, the windshield of my
vehicle is like portal which
allows me to capture bits and
pieces of the passing
landscape...before 911 I was
mostly painting still life and
portraits, after 911 I was
drawn to paint that which was
outside of myself, outside my
door, giving me, my own true
sense of the abstract. In
early 2002 I painted my first
series of works in mixed
media, "Barrio Pop", depicting
and celebrating street icons
from the south-most barrios of
Brownsville TX, such as Taco
stands, 99 cent stores, used
tire...
