I'm inspired by anything Mexican... culture, icons, music, Dia de los Muertos, Frida Kahlo, and a bold color palette. You will see pieces of my "Tejana" background in all of my work. When I make jewelry my motto is "the bolder the better!!" I also love experimenting with black & white photography.
Frida Kahlo...duh!
I like meeting artists & people flowing with creativity and a positive vibe. Negative people SUCK!!!!!! And you know who you are....those that are constantly complaining about everything under the sun...including the sun! C'mon people live life to the fullest...quit your bitchin'!
Dona Tamalera
She is made with plaster, and get this.... tamale husks!!!! During the holidays, I was asked to create a piece of artwork for a Silent Auction benefiting the community. The medium everyone had to some how incorporate in there artwork: tamale husks. She fetched a pretty penny and was won by a famous city government official.

Mana rocks!! Santana, Los Lonely Boys, Lila Downs, Chris Botti, Michael Buble, Ana Gabriel, Alejandra Guzman, Celia Cruz, Marc Anthony, etc...etc..etc... Soy tradicional pero a good salsa rythum every now and then never hurt anybody!
Like I need to say it..."Frida." I also adore "The Mirror Has Two Faces," "Like Water for Chocolate," "Practical Magic," "Chocolat," "Pan's Labyrinth," and the "Bird Cage" because 'everyone needs a hint of color!'
Novelas! What can I say...I'm addicted to the drama & and the funky colored walls! Although the story has been told in various versions...I'm obsessed with "La fea mas bella" and now that it has ended I don't know what to do with myself. I NEED another novela!!!!
.. Que viva Frida!!! Zapata & Pancho Villa, Emma Tenayucca, Ceasar Chavez, la Virgen de Guadalupe, Wonder Woman...who else can kick-ass and look hot doing it while wearing red stilleto boots?!
