As a Chicano artist working in California at the start of the new century, I am compelled to look beyond traditional Chicano art concepts and embrace new methods for creation. I am still strongly influenced by my Mexican and California Chicano cultural heritage, but I add digital, web, and installation work to my traditional methods of drawing and painting as my way of updating my artwork and bringing it closer to a contemporary global audience. As the Chicano culture changes, so must our artists. We must express these changes within our artwork in a way that reflects our individuality as people and our ideals as artists.
