 Views of UTEP

This year, I had the opportunity of meeting one of the most influential person in The University of Texas at El Paso, Dr. Diana Natalicio. She chose my illustration for the contest "2013 Views of UTEP",  that is held each spring semester. The contest purpose is to exhibit the talent of Prof. Albert Wong's Illustration class, and to create an image that reflects UTEP's campus and its heritage onto the El Pasoan community.

Chalk the Block 2013

I was recently featured in this article at Academic Technologies' Inside AT blog.
Depicting my participation in Chalk the Block 2013, an ephemeral arts and crafts festival where the El Paso
Community gets together for three days during October to create art!

"Chalk the Block is a festival that celebrates the talent of El Paso artists and non-artists alike by offering them the opportunity to exhibit their skills in various ways. People are encouraged to participate as a “chalk artists” at the San Jacinto plaza or by hosting one of the numerous galleries scattered throughout the event area. Museums and Cultural Affairs Department opens up space in old buildings which are turned into pop-up galleries for the three days of the event. Even though the name does not explicitly relate to fine art, the event has been embraced by the local art community as a mean to appreciate various different art pieces that are only exhibited temporarily, but receive city-wide attention from El Pasoans.

This past October, one of our talented student-staff designers, Pauline Mateos, got the chance to participate in a gallery and exhibit some of her work at “Gallery 209” gallery during the annual “Chalk the Block” event.  Pauline is also graduating this semester, and AT will truly miss her inspiring designs and work!"
