I am a published poet, artist, author, and a speaker. I speak to groups about my disability and how I create my art. I frequently illustrate my own work. Studied at the University of Texas in Austin and UTEP in El Paso. I create digital paintings and type using a "mouth stick" as I can no longer paint or type by hand.

I encourage all to meet life's challenges, focusing on your abilities, rather than disabilities. My love of creating and a positive attitude are the driving forces behind my determination... and I owe this all to God.
