Lake Catemaco is a primordial body of water, the second largest lake in Mexico. It is located in the State of Veracruz, not far from the Gulf Coast, and is surrounded by jungle, marshes, gardens, dwellings, and the little town of Catemaco. This region was populated by the most ancient culture in Mexico, the Olmecs, and many of the giant stone heads were found nearby, or submerged in the lake. The mountains on the west shore of the lake are known as the Tuxtlas, an ancient volcanic range that runs along the south shore of the Gulf of Mexico.

The pinto, like other horses I encountered in this region of Veracruz, run free. But I suspect they are easy to find by their owners.

I am a multi-media artist and craftswoman. My training includes coursework in sculpture at the Corcoran School in Washington, DC and at the Rufino Tamayo Taller in Oaxaca, Mexico, where I lived for 14 years until 2021. I've worked extensively in many genres including paper and digital collage, acrylic and oil painting, needle felting, paper mache, colored pencil, watercolor and line drawing. My experience in the active artistic community of Oaxaca was richly rewarding.
