Featured Artists
Teresa Archuleta-Sagel: A renowned master weaver, this artist applies her skills to format fiber-inspired digital tapestries. Archuleta-Sagel refers to her computer as a contemporary "loom."
Elena Baca: Combining a unique photo process with modern computer technology, Baca renders evocative images inspired by her Nuevomexicana roots. She then adheres her work onto wooden boards to make contemporary techno "retablos."
Alma López: An award winning California artist, López inspired folk saints are rendered digitally then super-imposed over California landscapes to highlight timely border and social issues.
Marion Martínez: This artist begins inside the computer and incorporates recycled computer parts to create three-dimensional mixed-media sculptures that recast traditional Nuevomexicano and cultural icons.
