“My Mother Holding Her Mother (Portrait of Maria del Carmen Rodriguez Viuda Brea)”

- If all goes according to plan, I'll be delivering this piece to my grandmother in the Dominican Republic this July
“Mayan Water Lily Jaguar”
coffee & acrylic on unprimed canvas

- the coffee grounds adhered to the canvas were used to create the coffee I painted with, and were sourced from Southern Mexico where my father's lineage is from
- in Mayan mythology, the Jaguar is the keeper of the "underworld" and uses psychedelic methods (represented by the trippy effect on the water lilies) to take a traveler there
- I do have prints of this piece if anyone is interested
