I have an academic formation and over fifty years of experience as a professional printmaker. My artwork has been conceptualized as part of a series where I focus on survival, maternity, procreation, life and death, rites of passage, and Nahuatl mythology. 

I strive to express complex concepts with the simplest and most basic elements and challenge myself to remain true to the traditional techniques in lithography, etching, xylography, mono prints and mixed media by resisting the seduction of technology and digital technical effects.

My multicultural perspective reached a new dimension in 2006 after experiences in Japan where I exhibited works depicting a deep universal parallelism where East meets West. My experiences in China as an Artist in Residence at The Printmaking Base in Guanlan further transformed my multicultural expression and strengthened the enchantment of my work. Not only has my expession as an artist transcended metaphorical borders, but prints that I elaborated during my residency in China have travelled throughout South America and work that I completed upon my return has been purchased by and is part of the permanent exhibition at China Printmaking Museum in Guanlan, Shenzhen. It is incredible to see my physical works cross regional borders and humbling to connect with great artists globally.
