Sandra Cisneros "Mujer Sin Verguenza" by Nathaly Lerma in Seattle
Sandra Cisneros "Mujer Sin Verguenza"
This is an original illustration and painting art print featuring Mexican American poet, short story writer, novelist, essayist, performer, and artist, @officialsandracisneros .
After indulging in Sandra Cisneros’s poetry masterpiece, “Mujer Sin Vergüenza,” I was struck by her spirit and style. I knew I had to capture her in a portrait that would do her justice. Inspired by Spanish artist Beatriz Ramo @naranjalidad , I drew her in timeless graphite, surrounded by elements that embody her roots. Sandra’s love for all things maguey is evident in the blue agave leaves embracing her and growing around her. Her sweater is adorned with glyphs and drawings that pay homage to Mexican folklore and celebrate her vibrant personality.
Nacida en la frontera, hija del desierto. Mi dualidad en las ciudades hermanas de El Paso, TX, y Ciudad Juàrez, Chihuahua, México. 🌵 ☀️
When I'm not creating art, I am a wife, a mom of two, and a full-time research associate at the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, WA. @aleninstitute 🧠 👩🏻🔬
When I was a kid, my mom noticed in me a talent for realistic drawing and eventually bought me my first set of watercolors and art books. I remember she would take me to her college classes and I would carry a bag with crayons and papers and sit quietly drawing. My mom continued to support me by enrolling me in art classes all the way to high school. Then, in college, I continued seeking opportunities to practice art in my spare time. I've had a few mentors/teachers in my journey that have really helped me grow in this area, like Carlos Estrada-Vega and Julia Hitchcock. Platforms like @youtube, @domestika , and @skillshare have also allowed me to grow in my art skills and confidence.
And so here I am! I want to simply share my art and skills with you.
It is in my heart to also use my skills to advocate for causes that I believe in, like @eachstephome as well as to elevate my culture as well as women figures through my portraits and prints. 🫀✍🏻🖼️
