From the Coronado trail Conquistadores and their quests along the San Francisco River to the Modern day Enterprises; the unification and mutual collaboration of the Hispanic community has prospered and co-existed along the American and Indian inhabitants of S.E Arizona.

These groups have thrived together to become a rich and plentiful region. Now, one of the leading areas of Copper production and tourism Arizona has to offer.

A much anticipated collaboration to create Murals in the town of Clifton has been long awaited for with a central theme:  Clifton History; (A look into the formation and continuous enrichment of the historical treasures of Clifton, its settlers and citizens.)  The collaboration consists of the Clifton Arizona Visitor Center and other local organizations and cooperation of local S.E Arizona art students.

Mighty stories to tell with strong images to depict are the investigating factors. Migrant families, along with their historical significance of the foundation and unification of the various ethnic and cultural groups that united formed Clifton, AZ will the central focus for the artist.
