“CATRINA”
By
Mara Odette
My Installation "Catrina" honors my ancestors in the Mexican tradition. “The Day of The Dead” is the most important holiday in Mexico. My sculpture/installation is mixed media, including papier mache, fabric, styrofoam and acrylic.
My work consists of paintings, sculptures and installations. I use different media, including oil, acrylic, water color, clay, glass, and designer cast. I like to make installations because they allow me to play with a wide range of materials.
I am a Mexican-American local artist with roots in Chiapas and Studio in Bethesda, Maryland. I have been a D.C. area artist for more than 20 yeras and have exbited widely in the D.C. metroplitan area and throught Mexico. I have paintings in numerous collections in the US and Mexico.
