His practice encompasses a range of media, from intricate printmaking techniques and documentaries to large-scale murals, all deeply rooted in his cultural heritage and commitment to community engagement.

RGZ's work has earned national and international recognition, with exhibitions spanning the United States, Europe, and Latin America. Currently serving as an Associate Professor of Printmaking and Drawing at Gonzaga University, RGZ brings a passion for education and mentorship to the next generation of artists. His teaching is complemented by his active role in the Spokane arts scene, where he is a co-founder of the Spokane Print and Publishing Center and the founder of Spokane Print Fest—two initiatives to foster collaboration and dialogue among artists and the wider public.

An award-winning artist, RGZ’s work has been showcased in prominent institutions such as the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture and is included in the permanent collections of The Library of Congress (Washington, DC) and the Bernard A. Zuckerman Museum of Art (Kennesaw, GA).
