One of the things that I am happy about in my life as an artist is that I am not considered a Hispanic artist. ↗

I have always felt that my work is religious, not sacrilegious. ↗

As a former Catholic, and as someone who even today is not opposed to being called a Christian, I felt I had every right to use the symbols of the Church and resented being told not to. ↗
