"My research for each painting entails talking to the elders of my community, many of whom are over 90 years old.  They are full of the rich Mayan history of our people. As we speak together in our native Tz'utujil dialect, their words are like colors which are transformed into stories on my canvas. Because the history of our culture is disappearing, this is my way of saving and sharing our way of life. It is also our vehicle to create a better future for our people."
