La Virgencita de Guadalupe


18 x 24 Acrylic on Canvas

Although I’m not Mexican; I was raised Catholic and although my views of religion are very liberal and open, I was always drawn to the Virgin of Guadalupe.

She’s a powerful symbol of Mexican identity and faith and her image is associated with everything from motherhood to feminism and social justice.

She is depicted with a luminous light surrounding her, with a blue, starred mantle.
