American via birth, Mexicana/Xicana via roots, love Hebrew National hot dogs with nopales and Mole. Married forever to this wild and crazy Greek. We call him the Greeksican "TATA" grandmother of 5. Self taught crafter and childerns Mexican Arts instructor. President of The Echo PArk Youth Empowerment Council since 1993, our outreach media is the arts. I love the way the childrens eyes light up when they see they have created a piece of art. There are no mistakes in art, only artistic opportunities. My world changed in 1987 when I discovered la masestra " Frida Kahlo" Que viva La Mujer....
