Las Californias

This piece reflects something that has shaped much of my life and work: the idea that geography is not just physical. It is cultural, historical, and personal.

My perspective was formed across the San Diego–Tijuana region—where identities, economies, families, food and institutions cross boundaries every day.

I've always been drawn to work that carries that same complexity: rooted somewhere real, but never limited to one side of the line.

What we choose to preserve says something about what we value.

Delicate lines of a seated figure with an unfinished face, in a wooden frame with gold inner molding.

From my collection

Seated figure

Delicate lines trace a seated figure against warm paper. The face remains unfinished, while the wooden frame and gold inner molding give the drawing a defined edge.

From my collection

Abstract portrait

White and gray gestures gather into the form of a face against a rich black field. Thin white border lines hold the contrast within the tall panel.
