Artist Statement

My work is rooted in self-reflection, history, cross-culture communication, education and imagination. I am inspired by a range of cultural and social influences, including the creative power of youth and wisdom of age. Rare words, distant cultures, collective intellect also attract my attention. 

I create multimedia narrative-based writings, happenings, video, performance, two- and three-dimensional works, and community arts programs. For this, I draw from my experiences, studies, imagination, and heritage - grounded in Texas matched with travels around the world.

As I move throughout the Diaspora my practices witness and participate in evolutions of environmental, social and cultural landscapes. They reflect and illuminate the histories, cultures, and individuals that shine in the shade of society.
