Welcome to La Corua, home of digital art for the Sonoran heart.
I am an artist devoted to works of art honoring life in the Arizona Borderlands. Rooted in a vanishing Sonoran folktale, La Corua* pays tribute to the rich historical heritage of the Pimería Alta, community and culture. I retired from business as La Corua in 2014, but I still enjoy creating artwork and powerful graphics through this mythical namesake.
My work is all digital, created on my Mac. The mouse is my paintbrush. I chose digital mediums because they are versatile and infinite.

I have incorporated the portraits of each into a master background painting of Tucson's iconic El Tiradito (The Castaway) Shrine. I offer this as a blessing to each of these people. May they be remembered with the dignity they so richly deserved.

Remembering also people who have been stripped of everything but life itself, and bravely believe that life is still possible in the United States:
