Means of Expression
I have two means of telling a story–words and art. Here are a few of my retablos :
Jugetes (Toys) 
Santa Cecilia (Patron Saint of Poets and Musicians)
Self Portrait
Hidden Kiss 
Sunrise Madonna 
The Circus
Our Lady of Notions
Ganesha
Homage to Picasso
Rainy Season
H
Macho
The Prompt: Express Yourself!!! Do you love to dance, sing, write, sculpt, paint, or debate? What’s your favorite way to express yourself, creatively?
I love and appreciate every single one of these retablos, both the artistry and the meanings! 🙂

Thanks, Lola. I am having trouble rounding up pictures of a lot of my pieces. I need an art drover!

It is just pure fun doing these. When I was a metal smith there were parts I loved and some parts I didn’t. With these pieces, I love every part of the process.

I’ve said it before, but it deserves saying again — I really love your art. It’s got such a wonderful balance of texture, symbols, colors. It’s utterly unique and beautiful. Kinda like you.

Ah. That is so sweet, Marilyn. It is really wonderful to be so supported and you’ve been that from the start.

You also express yourself wonderfully in your photography. Are you not listing that because you think it’s covered as art?

Well, that’s nice of you to say. I do consider photography as art but I guess I didn’t think of it as being my art. It is a bit like the 3D art. I had a hard time accepting myself as an artist because I hadn’t gone to art school. Photography is the same way. I don’t know why a certain cropping looks good–I just know when it is right. But you are right, it does feel like art in the same way writing and sculpture do. I just play and poke around until it seems right.

Judy I love what you’ve shown us. Are your doing this 3 D art only for your pleasure ?

No, I sell it…I’ve done hundreds, so my house would be pretty full if I didn’t sell them. Right now I’m between galleries, but I show in different shows at artist galleries and may do a show in Santa Fe, NM…Someone asked me to do it, but I need to get the details.
