Aztec Goddess Coatlicue

Alice Nosworthy has been creating these beautiful goddess images in clay and will be showing with me at the Harwood Art Center in Albuquerque on Feb 5th, 2010. When I saw her work I thought they would go very well with the Xochimilco paintings.

The Beginning

At last! I have given in and joined the blogosphere!!! I shall begin by explaining the title of the blog, Unraveling the Mystery. What Mystery? I feel the life we live is always a mystery and the art I make is an act of unraveling that mystery.

At the moment I am working on my upcoming show for Feb of 2010 which is titled: Xochimilco . Tequila Sunrise was the first in this series. I am presently immersed in studying the Aztec culture. I am attempting to capture some of the essence of who these great people were because my inspiration for these paintings began when I traveled down the canals of the floating gardens in Mexico City.
