“Napantla” 8x10 or 11x14. SHIPPING INCLUDED.
Printed on enhanced matte paper.
Napantla is an Aztec word describing existing in the middle or in “the inbetween.” This painting depicts living in the liminal–the experience of being caught between one’s ancestral culture and the dominant culture. It is often a place of tension and discomfort. The pull of opposites can also be a point of creation and potential—a place to begin weaving new realities.
Resurrection Morning. 8x10 or 11x14. SHIPPING INCLUDED.
Printed on enhanced matte paper.
This is family history. This painting is a representation of my great grandmother Maria Teresa, with her daughter Maria Teresa who died as a child. No one living knew this baby girl existed until I found her death record, which inspired this painting. To me, resurrection is about so much more than celebrating Easter. It’s about remembering, restoring, and renewing our connection to each other, here with pink-rosy-cheek-squeezes.
“Diosa” 11 x 14 SHIPPING INCLUDED
Printed on enhanced matte paper.
Diosa–Mother Goddess. “Diosa.” This image of Mother Goddess is wearing a traditional Indigenous Mexican headdress, embroidered top, and ribbon braids. Her ribbons of divinity flow down towards anyone who seeks her.
