In the early 90's I moved to the S. Valley in Albuquerque. The art came together, new themes and new influences. Rural themes, stronger Hispanic influences, started painting from old family photos. These were big developments in my work. In fact this album should be divided into two. Paintings after 1998-99 are post sobriety. Paintings change when you get sober. Styles change and develop, you gain control of the vision and its execution. 2000 brought more changes in my life and thus in the art. Bought a house, traveled, started Corkfest, big changes and better art, if I do say so myself.
