This Día de los Mu***os, November 1st, we’re celebrating the beauty of Mexican folk art and the meaningful traditions behind it through the work of local artist Amy Wellman Edwards.
From the stories told through mixed media to the history and symbolism of traditional nichos, we hope this little feature inspires curiosity, appreciation, and a deeper connection to the art around us.
Art is even more beautiful when we take the time to understand its story. ❤️
