"La Catrina" has become the most popular icon of the annual Days of the Dead celebration (November 1 & 2) held in Mexico and in Mexican communities worldwide. The Originalimage was crated by a Mexican printmaker and political cartoonist during the Revolution. Catrina is a skeleton wearing a fancy French hat decorated by ostrich feathers, a comment (at the time) on poor women in the pueblos who tried to look European and deny their indigenous roots.

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.
