Artist StatementI arrived in the Pacific Northwest in 1993, and I felt immediately welcomed by this community. I also discovered that Latinos living in the Northwest were very isolated from the rest of the society. I then began capturing the Latino life as it happened; through festivals, concerts, community events, traditional weddings and every day life. I believe that the contributions of Latinos to the development and success of the Pacific Northwest are woven into almost every segment of the state's history. To envision Washington untouched by Latinos is to imagine a state without much of its folklore and many of its achievements.
