My Beliefs
"I believe we need to identify that which is harmful to our community and our environments and we must actively work towards positive change. I also believe that we as a community need to educate our selves in our history in order to provide a strong basis as to who we are as people of our descent and help celebrate our cultures and the struggles that we, and those before us have persevered. I am an artist, and it is with these beliefs that I create my art."
My Work
I am an artist, and president of my own design firm named Arango Designs that was founded in Aug. of 07. We already count amongst our clients the City of Los Angeles, Department of Cultural Affairs Los Angeles, the LA Mayor's office, the Cesar Chavez Foundation, the LA County Arts Commission, and amazingly enough the LASD. I am also chair of the Ryman Arts Alumni Association and alumni rep on the board of directors. That is part of what I do.
