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.
