Isla de los Muertos

Yesterday, I set up shop outside the gallery Autobody Fine Art on the island of Alameda, California. What an incredibly sunny day with clear blue skies. I'm a native Californian but I was astounded by the weather. A group of "muerte" vendors set up shop and sold to the locals. It appeared that Dia de los Muertos had not yet come to the ISLA but the locals were ready for our artwork. It was a very family friendly group attending Isla de los Muertos with a fusion of Halloween and Dia de los Muerto… Continue

Still Feeling the Heat

Been back from New Orleans for about a week and a half. I can still feel the heat. The humidity hangs on my skin like a thick blanket making it hard to move quickly. NOLA Time. I'm still on NOLA time and energy. I wish it could last. New Orleans never disappoints me. The overwhelming humidity immediately lets you know who's boss. No rushing in this weather. It feels nearly impossible to move quickly. You know, that is really okay with me. In San Francisco, I hate the heat. In New Orleans I almo… Continue

On Dia de los Muertos

Where to begin? There were no cultural celebrations recognized in my household. I was raised in the Baptist Church where the simplicity of worship was emphasized: no incense, no statues, no stained glass. There was however a big glass tub where you could be baptized and yes lots and lots of singing. My cultural "re-entry" began in college. It was then that I discovered the richness, the complexity and beauty of my Mexicaness. I began to ask my family many, many questions. Where in Mexico did we… Continue
