Mami (To My Mom)


Oil on Canvas

Para Mi Mami

Este cuadro representa el amor y recuerdos que mi Mamá me dio. Siento una gran admiración por ella. Hoy se cumplen 9 meses sin ella.

Sueño con ella muy seguido y se que me contesta muchas preguntas y me reconforta. Me pregunto ella cómo nos vera y qué pensará de nosotros desde el cielo.

Gracias a todos por las palabras de aliento y comprensión. Especialmente a ti mi amor, John. Por ese hermoso abrazo que me diste esta mañana. Significa mucho para mi y las palabras no fueron necesarias.

En este cuadro use objetos que eran especial para mi Mamá y para mi.
Crecer con ella fue un placer en mi vida y estoy agradecida por eso.

Gracias y siempre te recordaré.


To My Mom

This painting represents the love, admiration, and memories I have of my mother. Today is 9 months without her.

I have dreams of her very often and I know she answers many questions and comforts me from heaven. I wonder how she sees us and thinks of what we are doing.

Thank you for all the words of comfort and understanding from all the people around me. Especially to you John, my love, and for that nice hug you gave me this morning. It means so much to me that words were not necessary.

In this painting I used objects that are special between me and my Mom. Growing up having her in my life was a pleasure and I feel thankful for that.

Thanks and I will always remember you.

Home Studio

This is my little home studio... the place I spend hours between music and paint.

Pink Hibiscus

2008
Private Collection

This flower is special for me in many ways. Is a hibiscus flower that my Father-in-law gave us. I took a picture of it in my backyard and my Mother started the painting and I finished it because she had to return to México.

And now this flower will be in our Daughter's bedroom.

Esta flor es muy especial para mi. Mi suegro nos regaló esta flor de jamaica, le tomé una foto y mi Mamá empezó el cuadro, no lo pudo terminar porque tenía que regresar a México.

Y ahora éste cuadro estará en el cuarto de nuestra hija.

Courtyard in Guadalajara


Oil on Canvas

2007
$100.00

Una hermosa mañana de domingo en la ciudad de Guadalajara,  caminando del brazo con mi Madre y hermano Roberto, me detuve a tomar foto a esta hermosa casa y la foto no era suficiente yo necesitaba poner esta vista en un bastidor. Lo atesoro mucho por haber sido un viaje con muchas enseñanzas para mi y valoración por lo que he tenido.

On a beautiful Sunday morning in Guadalajara, walking along with my brother and my mother holding onto my arm, I stopped to take a picture of this beautiful house, but the picture wasn't enough.  I needed to put it on a canvas.  I treasured this a lot because it was a trip with a lot of lessons and for taking a look at what I value.
