About Your Host
I was born in Durango, Mexico many years ago jeje. In 1963 I moved to the colonial town of Guanajuato where I started university studies in Architecture, and where I graduated as B.Arch. There my interest in the arts was fostered in the fine art studios of Professor Jesus Gallardo where I studied drawing, watercolour painting and metal etching. My formative professional years were spent in the heart of Guanajuato, and subsequently San Miguel Allende where I lived and practiced for 14 years. The influences of these two towns created the foundations of my artistic development.
Vancouver has been my home for the last 37 years. During that time I obtained M. Arch and Urban Design at UBC, and I taught for 5 years as part-time faculty in the design studios at the School of Architecture. My work as an Architect & Urban Designer has allowed me to travel to North & South America, Asia and Europe. These travels have influenced my artistic visions, particularly Italy where I paint and teach course in Plein Air painting in Venice every summer. I believe that working as both an architect and an artist provides complementary enhancement of my abilities in both areas of endeavour.
