Beautiful!
She looks nervous.
She is so focused.
I love this. I feel like I should kneel and say a quick prayer.
The Chola in me LOVES this!
I couldn't figure out why this piece is so familiar,lol I just realized you are "Outlaw Jesus" on myspace. I love your work!
I love assemblage,it just looks so intimidating to me.
She is beautiful! There is something haunting and mesmerizing yet familiar about her.
Thank you for sharing her.

- About Me:
- I was born and raised in California. I've lived in Arizona for the last 9 years. I miss my family and the Beach the most. Since living in Arizona,I've been able to show my art and be more involved in the community than when I was living back home. Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Mostly self taught I have been inspired by the beauty that surrounds me In both Mother Nature and Human Nature. I switch back and forth between writing and creating art. I'll know I've made it when I get my 15 minutes of fame on N.P.R.

Yvonne,
In March 2010, there will be a series of events in Mexico City, Mexico, Los Angeles, California, and other cities, meant to be a ritual of mourning for the femicides in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua: Art as a pathway of opposition and resistance to violence.
We invite you to be part of this initiative of art activism. Below is the link to the blog we have dedicated to this and where you will find the Call for Entries. This invitation is open to all individuals, groups, organizations, artists and activists. The events in March 2010 will include awareness raising creative workshops, intervention actions, plays and performances and the exhibition of the art work received through the call for entries and the resulting art from the workshops. http://unaoracionporjuarez.blogspot.com/
For those who do not live in Mexico City or Los Angeles metropolitan areas, we invite you to organize your own community activity during the same month of March, 2010. It could be an Art Exhibit, a book discussion, a movie screening, a poetry reading, etc. We ask you to include the original title of this event “A Prayer for Juarez,” and to send us your schedule, and later on, photos and documentation, to be included in the blog.
To include your event, or for any kind of issue related, please write to us:
In the US: aprayerforjuarez@gmail.com
In Mexico: unaoracionporjuarez@gmail.com
Creating protest art transcends culture and gender. We are united in a larger community of like-minds and humanitarian goals. We thank you in advance for your dedication and your prayers for the women of Ciudad Juarez. NI UNA MAS!
PLEASE FORWARD THIS DATA TO PEOPLE YOU KNOW
WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING
