These three figures appeared from a place in my mind that must have seen the world in either imagination or reality. I live in a multicultural area where the dominant cultures are Hispanic and Native American, but in my travels around the world I have met and talked with many from other cultures. I see the dominant figures in the painting as Native American, African, and Tibetan, but their nationalities are immaterial. They are citizens of the world surrounded by other citizens of the world. Whether in contemplation, active conversation or standing on the sidelines, we are all part of humanity.
