Description: CATRINA 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. I have exhibited throughout Mexico and the United States, to include frequently in the Washington, D.C. area. I have paintings in numerous collections in the U.S. and Mexico. Please visit my Website www.maraodette.com
