Welcome to Borderlandia. Two hearts float side by side. They hover over a labyrinth of cool rivers. Lines of blue and yellow intertwine creating a ground for the hearts. I repeat small marks in red, green and yellow to decorate the hearts with elaborate patterns. I use the contour line to emphasize shapes and colors. I incorporate color theory to create a vivid yet soothing composition. My painting process is slow, mindful and healing.

Get to Know the Austin Artist:
I am a Latina/ Chicana artist born in Uvalde, TX. My landscapes, portraits, photographs and performance art render a re-imagined Nepantla, called Borderlandia. I moved to Austin in 2005 and received my BFA from U.T. After I earned my MFA at UCDavis, I moved back to Austin to make and teach art. I teach painting at the Dougherty Arts Center. And I’m a gallery assistant at Art For The People Gallery. Visit me at the gallery every Sunday, Tuesday and Second Saturday!
