Artist's Statement |
I feel emotionally passionate about the subjects I paint. I am a fourth Yaqui Indian and three-fourths Hispanic. I was raised in the mining towns of Whitepine County, Nevada. My memories of my childhood have inspired me to paint the Indian stillife, western and wildlife subjects. For me, painting the old Indian pottery, old houses, Mail Pouch barns, shacks, and cars is a way of preserving the past on canvas and paper.
