I gave this painting as a gift to Ms. Elia Trujillo. She is a 3rd grade teacher at barding elementary. she was my master teacher when I worked for the mini corps program in 2003. She was great to me and I learned a bunch from her as well. She was so nice to write a letter of recommendation for me when I was applying to San jose state. thanks to her cooperation I put all my documentation together on time and got in. I got accepted and will start in the fall 2005.

I gave this painting to ms. Angelica Simons. She teaches at Alisal High and was never my teacher becuase I never took her spanish class but she was my club advisor in Club cultural. She was so cool in this club. She took us camping to beautiful places, she tooks us to San francisco to different museums, and so on. She has a house in Baja, and so I'm pretty sure that she will hang this painting of Cabos San lucas somewhere in that house. She also wrote a letter of recommendation for me and thanks to that and their wonderful words about me, I got in!

This is Mujer Montana. I painted this when I was still in High School. It's the smallest painting I've ever done. It's very small. Agustin likes it a lot and even wrote a poem inspired by it. It's now hanging in my house, agu said not to give it away. It's one of his favorites. I love him so much. he'll be graduating from his M.A. next friday the 13th of May at 12:30 in Berkeley. Of course I'll be there. that same day I have my Artist reception at the Seaside City Hall, where we have a show for this month with Jose Ortiz, and other hijos del sol artists.
