Inspiración Heart

The colors of my work celebrate Mexico, trying to reflect the heart of Mexican culture – a blend between Indigenous Huichol Indian (brilliantly colored yarns pressed onto bees wax) and Traditional Oaxacan Alibrijes (brilliantly colored dot painted carved wooden animals). These “Corazones” or Hearts celebrate my return to a land, culture, people and place I love. I’ve never been happier and my painting expresses my “alegria,” my joy! Each Corazon is hand painted with tooth picks, a time consuming and happiness producing process. “Colores de Mi Corazon” (Colors of my Heart) is the name I chose for my work.
