About this Event:
"I was born in El Paso, Texas where I began my art education and discovered the passion for narrative storytelling through comics.
My self-published comic book series Días de Consuelo is about the early life of my grandmother who was born during the Mexican Revolution. Those issues were collected, edited and published as a graphic novel by Radiator Comics in March 2022. Días de Consuelo was selected by Society of Illustrators for their Illustration 65 annual.
I am a 2021 grantee of the Collective Futures Fund, a program of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. I am also a recipient of multiple artist grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. My comics have been published in several periodicals and anthologies, including Tales from la Vida: A Latinx Comics Anthology, New Frontiers: The Many Worlds Of George Takei, Irene Book 5, and Beautiful/Decay Book 6. An excerpt of Días de Consuelo appeared in the Illustrated PEN section of the PEN America site. My short comic Hacienda won First Place in the Comics Composition Competition by Comics Workbook.
Other self-published publications include a short comic about my grandmother’s teenage years living on the Rio Grande (River), historical works about the Mexican Revolution (Battle of Juarez and Zacatecas 1 and 2), a zine about U.S. influence in Central and South American governments (School of the Americas), and a short series of illustrated Latin American sayings (Dichos 1 and 2)..."
