I create artwork about the Latino experience through individual slices of life of the community, family and many other sectors of present-day society.  The demographics of this country are changing as the population of Latinos increases.  The border is no longer just at El Paso and Juarez or San Diego and Tijuana.  The border is in Denver, it is in Los Angeles and in Phoenix.  The border is either expanding or is shot full of holes.  Cultures and languages mutually invade and affect one another.  This artwork is part of a series that illustrates the changing environment in the United States. –Artist statement
