Personal Philosophy

I believe that education in general is a course of action that generates achievements or failures, and that each experience changes us.

When I am not teaching for any University, I paint California landscapes, seascapes, missions, and portraits of individuals with unique facial expressions.

Presently, I live in Glendale California. I have a supportive family, which consists of five children." less...
