A collective show presented at the Chinese Cultural Centre Museum. 
September 1 to 20, 2012 • Vancouver, Canada.
 
The intriguing, naive and surrealistic characteristics of some of the illustrations from 'la lotería' (an old board game for kids) were part of my inspiration for this show. But I have also drawn from my memories of places, people and the continuum of Mexican cultural diversity. The information shown in parenthesis indicates the cards used from 'la loteria.'
 
These are computer-generated collages, giclee printed on canvas.
