"Seeing as how Los Angeles had just witnessed the largest demonstrations in its history, when up to 2 million immigrants took to the streets of downtown L.A. on May 1st to rally for immigrant's rights; I decided a painting of an immigrant worker would be an appropriate creation for the At Work exhibit.

My painting depicts a women participating in a labor rally. The action itself is left ambiguous, it could be anything from a striking union’s picket line to a march expressing unity with worker’s demands. However, one thing is made clear by my painting, the new face of labor in California is female and non-white, and this reality has infused the modern-day labor movement with new energy and leadership."
