Favorite Movies	n 2009 I was nominated by the National Youth Employment Coalition (an organization in Washington DC) to speak to congressman about why art is important in our communities, how Obama's money helped the non profits, and the dream act. I have been mentored by Judy Budzine from Cultural Art Coalition, and Martin Moreno from Las Artes. They have been great examples in my life and have helped me trail blaze the way. I am currently working with youth at risk, churches, non profits, undocumented students, painting murals about immigration issues to educate people and empower the community for social change. I am currently a member of Ariztlan Studio, ALAC (Arizona Latino Art Cultural Center), Calaca, Cultural Art Coalition, and Dream Act Coalition. My art has been featured in the New Times, Arizona Republic, ASU Newspaper, CNN, Fox, Arizona Informant, La Opinion and KTAR radio. I was fortunate to hang art in Arizona Historical Museum, ASU West, ASU Tempe, ASU Downtown, Holgas Gallery, 2345 Gallery, Pravus, and ALAC ART Museum.
