We want to congratulate artist for taking best of show at this years El Velorio. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

About her piece:
My painting ‘Reencuentro’ is a labor of love, sadness, grief, and hope. I painted it with the intention of honoring and paying tribute to the lives of my loved ones that have passed. Emotive storytelling is the most important aspect of my work, and if through it I can continue to immortalize the voices of those who are no longer with me, I feel like I have accomplished my goal. The most special thing about this piece has been hearing from the people who have connected with it and who (or what emotions) come through for them. It’s a touching reminder that my work is so much bigger than myself, and I will continue to strive for that.
