My inspiration for this exclusive, one of one art piece is my surroundings in the life I live. I live on a ranch where animals are part of my daily routine. Since I was little, I would wake up wearing my boots, belt, and hat (sombrero) and go to sleep wearing my hat. My uncles were my role models on how to dress properly. 

Roosters were always part of my life starting from my mom’s decorations in the kitchen, to my uncle’s rooster farm. I am a part in taking care of these precious animals. As these things have grown into me they are my inspiration in art. A rooster is like a loyal dog, they sing to you, protect you and cherish your presence. I couldn't ask for a better inspiration than a rooster.
