My art passion started because I had many negative experiences growing up. A chip on the shoulder can become fuel to go the extra mile. When our first son was born, I began to channel my energy towards the educational art posters for bilingual educators. When I was growing up there wasn't much literature or contemporary art images that reflected us. I hope that other Chicanos and Latinos surround themselves with a positive circle of friends and associates. Our peers can help us succeed in life. Education mentors, family and friends who care about you will help you keep up your spirit and positive energy throughout life. It's never too late. The first goal is to at least graduate from high school. Every small goal achieved gets you closer to your dream. If your dream is art, I wish you success.
