Exciting news to share! Cheech Marin recently purchased my painting Retablo for Uvalde, a piece that took me a year to complete. It was created as a tribute to the 21 lives lost due to gun violence, and the emotions and grief that come with it. I am grateful that this painting will now be part of the Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art and Culture at the Riverside Museum, where it will be shared with the community. Thank you, Cheech Marin, for recognizing the importance of this piece and for supporting its place in the collection.
