I am very inspired by Mexican folk art for a number of reasons. But the most predominate of reasons are the colors used, the symbolism, and the history behind the art. Being that I am mostly English, I am not sure exactly what drew me to the Mexican culture as a whole. But I believe it was the lack of culture in my own family that lead me to explore the art and the culture of my neighbors to the south. I find a lot of Mexican Folk art has a romantic or passionate undertone. Mexican Folk art inspires me to remember the most basic things in life, which are love, life, death, and family, oh and don’t forget the fiesta! Peace, Love & Folk Art
