Opening Night of my ongoing solo exhibition Feminine Bloodlines Mexican Womanhood Erasing Submissiveness for the second month of exhibiting at the beautiful 924 Gallery at the Arts Council of Indianapolis was a stunning hit! The Sound Meditation with @okaraimani @daniciamonet @yodevg Calmed my spirit. Thank you for sharing your gift of peace with us, your meditative methods took me back to my childhood in Brownsville. Longtime social media Friends came in to see me from California, Ohio and New Mexico, I am so honored to finally meet and thankful to have shared my work with you. A shout out to all the educators of IPS and other local schools who experienced the work and shared with me:) thank you to my nephew, @stephenvgiles for stopping by, it melted my heart:) I never imagined the impact my work would make for so many, all of my hand cut images pose a powerful message within them, I hope you are able to experience those hidden messages and allow yourself to appreciate the power of my blade and the beautiful intricate positive space I create. #beatrizartist #beatrizartista #indianapolis #gallery924 #artscouncilorindianapolis #excellence #studioartist#professionalartist #beautybrainsandheart #papelpicado #contemporarypapelpicado #handcut #skills #soloexhibition #chicanaartist #itsjustpaper #immigrationart #orgullosamentemexicana # (at Indianapolis, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9bwrD9ALhx/?igshid=5nsa2gmszr97

The power of shadow, a silent meaning. On the eve of my birthday I had a dream about the pitbull (correction, not the bulldog, )being my spirit animal. I envisioned a PapelPicado piece where I would be standing next to two pit bulls claiming me as their own. Perhaps, healing will take longer than I thought, but now, I can’t help thinking that everything does happen for a reason. There is a Mexican proverb that says, ‘hay veces que aprendemos a puros chingasos’ ‘ sometimes we learn from a beating” meaning, even though life teaches you lessons some of us are so stubborn that only a beating will do. As violent as my dog attack was, I have learned to forgive the dog and embrace his own suffering. Through this experience I sought out the empowerment of my grandmothers and my great aunts who were Adelitas. Through this experience, my upcoming solo exhibition is titled: Feminine Bloodlines, Mexican Womanhood: Erasing Submissiveness This piece will be part of my solo exhibition at the Arts Council of Indianapolis gallery 924 and I will be speaking more about this experience being the catalyst of my solo in my artist talk.

The first time I featured my magnificent 10ft detailed PapelPicado La Virgen Morena, was at Marian University where she barely fit due to short ceilings, honestly, not worth her magnificent stature. I decided to feature her for a second and final time in Indianapolis at the Arts Council of Indianapolis Gallery 924 on February 7-March 31. Her influence on Mexican woman is legendary yet controversial for her religious representation of submission however, in this piece, I created her representative of Mother Nature emphasizing HER womanhood, strength and the power of replenished birth. Don’t miss seeing her and all the new larger than life work based on the beauty and strength of Mexican Womanhood.
