"I am honored and exhilarated to collaborate with real artisans who have been working for many years with talavera. I am able to learn more about the process and better understand the techniques that have been used for centuries. I am motivated by the learning process, it is the exploration of my culture, heritage and about myself and most importantly "My Mexico" because talavera is Mexico," declares Garcia.

His work is featured in numerous galleries and private collections in both the United States and Mexico, including representation by Royse Contemporary.
