My family line comes from many different places and cultures: Italy, Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia. I was born in Mexico and I moved to Houston a long time ago.
Fragments of all these places made the culture I have. 
Fragments.
 
I worked as a teacher all my life. I have the need to be my own teacher now. 
Motivate, push, pressure, and scold myself.
 
What I am is what you see.
 
We are complete humans until we have to describe ourselves. Then, magic happens! 
We have to use different words and feelings. We become fragments. We dismember ourselves. 
 
I describe myself through the characters I create. 
I put me in all of them and, maybe you- if you dare. These fragments of life.
 
This is what I do.
