Here is a self-portrait reproduction and a homage to American artist Edward Hopper, created in 1999.

Here is an old watercolor I created after visiting The Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Georgia with my grandmother. I received the Congressional Student Art Award in 2000 which congressman Silvestre Reyes sponsored. This piece showed for one full year with student work in D.C.. By the way, congressman Silvestre Reyes, now in his sixth term, became the first Hispanic to represent the 16th District of Texas in the U.S. House of Representatives. What an honor.

I should mention that this is not a self-portrait. She was a real model in Jerry Shutte's life drawing class.
