New Merchandise

2009-07-01T22:17:00.000-07:00

I've been busy getting my paintings done for the following months but I get so distracted listening to music and trying to figure out Facebook that I'm really behind now. I actully manage to make new merchandise. I painted some mirrors a while back and they sold really fast so I made more. I have some events coming up and I'll be bringing those with me.

So I finally opened an account on Facebook after avoiding it for sooooo many months!!! If you have an account please add me.... and if you don't you better get one. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Miriam-Martinez/96044063615

Well I'm going to bed now. I had too many pictures to upload and I'm tired.

Evolution of a Sacred Space: Dias de los Muertos

2008-10-04T20:56:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since my last blog but I really wanted to share this article image with you.

I was finishing my mural for the Oakland Museum for the Dias de los Muertos celebration. The exhibit runs from Oct. 8th - Dec 7th "Evolution of a Sacred Space". I'll be at the museum on Sunday, October 19, at 2pm for an artist talk.

THANK YOU TO MY FAMILY FOR THEIR SUPPORT: My mother for making me breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday. My father for being my harshest critic and for painting the leaves in my cempazuchitl flowers. My brother Roberto for making the panels and driving all the way to Oakland to install them. My sister Maria and her husband Cedi for letting me use their truck and also coming along and helping install the panels. My little sister Sandy for her company and for bringing me something to drink in those hot summer days. My husband Gilbert for teaching me that I have a great talent and to never give up!....and for painting the Coca Cola bottle.

And to everyone else for coming over and drinking a nice cold chela(beer) with me and for bringing the beautiful papel picado. I love you all!!!

I want to start this blog by saying thank you to all the people who support my work. Encantada Gallery's show "El Amor, la Muerte, y la Vida" was great. Friday at the de Young Museum in San Francisco was amazing. The opening reception for "Otra Vez, Atravez" was a huge success. Thank you to my friends and fans who came and patiently waited in line to get into Kimball Gallery. If you would like to take a look at my work you still have time to do so. The shows will run until December 2nd at Encantada Gallery and the de Young Museum.
