Dia de los Muertos


Tomasito 2008

I would like to start a small class of very young students--elementary age children--ages from about 9 years to 14 years--to work with a wide variety of art media. Six to eight young people would be enough--more would be too many,

This group would be called:

"The Young Artist's Studio".

The students would receive individual instruction from myself
and, though meeting as a group, would be considered independent and unique artists.

My new contacts at Manzanita School in Redding CA may be helpful in this.

Virgin of Guadalupe


Traditional treatment of Guadalupe on a dollar store hankie.

"The Virgin of Guadalupe"--the very famous mythic creation of Mexican belief --is the Patroness of all the Americas. Some pictorial tribute to her is an almost required feature of Day of the Dead celebratory altars.
