Here are a few things that will be auctioned off at the El Paso Community College fundraiser for their art department this Saturday. The shrines are my babies. I made one years ago after I had a dream of the idea. She's still around and sitting in my hallway alter. These are smaller than my original, but I hope they fetch a good price . If anyone is interested in ordering one, just let me know.
I was asked if I could make something small and affordable for the students to purchase, so I took out of retirement my little Muerto Guys. I made these right after I had graduated from college in '05. I was attempting to find my voice and just do something really fun just because. For those of you who have a degree in art, or anything else for that matter, you know how intense the work and hours can be. I know I drank many pots of coffee and smoked may packages of cigarettes in those days. Still love my coffee, but gave up the smokes a year ago.
Well, it's almost time for "Bones" and my work for today is finished, so off I go. Peace out.

hey georgina, first of all, thank you, really thank you. and you know why. next oh my yes! i love your work. el dia de los muertos is one of my favorite celebrations. for a slovak/serb i have a tremendous love for mexican culture. (when we used to do a biiiiggg dod thing at the art center i worked at, my at the time boss/friend used to tell me i was a better mexican than she was! lol! of course it made me feel like such a special sucka!) i am happy i found you. expressing the combo of beauty and bizarro is what makes me get up in the morning. there is no light without dark??? you rock and honestly, you were a huge freaking blessing to me yesterday! and omg! laffed til i peed about someday this will all be yours! whoa! talk about a blessing and a curse! gonna go visit your etsy shop and drool now! bernadette
ooh, one more thing: an iconic figure i deal with again and again is the slavic "rusalka". a female water spirit who blows fair and fowl and often lures men to a watery grave. she's not mean exactly, just misunderstood. i think la llorona and rusalka would be great pals...ladies who lunch???
Beautiful. I love the colors in the shrines.
Hi Georgina!
Absolutely beautiful-the colors are just WOW!
Found your blog through Bernadettes, and love the DOTD work!!! Right up my alley, though with what I've posted of late, you can't tell it.
I think this shall have to be added to my "Places To Visit" in my sidebar!
