In my work, I explore my own Catholic obsessions.

I like to believe that rather than destroy icons, I make new ones.

I am an artist first and a photographer second.

There's nothing wrong with provocative art work: I even look forward to the day when I can take pictures which will disturb even me.

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 I am the sum total of my parts.

My work is intensely personal.
