MujerArtes Artists
MujerArtes
The women of MujerArtes consist of dedicated individuals from all ages, races, ethnicities, sexual identities, religious and political ideologies, and socioeconomic upbringings. We came to the Esperanza at different times in our lives. Some of us have stayed a while, some have left, and others return at leave as their needs direct them. We are people surviving in a world overwhelmed with hate and anger, but we are also people who still hold on to hope. We believe in the role of art and culture in helping to share that hope. We believe that peace and justice can be reached, but we are people who also know that the road to esperanza, peace, and justice takes time and patience. Despite this, we are committed to the mission and vision of the Esperanza. We are Esperanza.
Rosa V.
I am Mexican and lived there until we moved to San Antonio, Texas. My son and two daughters are the most sacred parts of my life. I like being an artist because I get to coexist with all my friends – they are my second family. I knew very little about art a year ago, now I know more and I want to keep learning.
Ysenia Ramos
Ysenia Ramos was born, raised and has lived all her life in the Westside of San Antonio. She is a representative of the kind of women who lives here. Ysenia’s art fits in perfectly with the other women of Mujerartes because they are both dedicated to Westside culture. She will be continuing her father’s legacy of creating Chicano art when she becomes a tattoo artist.
Mary Agnes Rodriguez
I was born to a loving couple named Estella Picaso and Manuel Soria. I was the seventh of nine siblings. As children, my mom taught us to make cascarones, sew, crochet, and do crafts. I’m still doing art and crafts. My passion is painting which I can do at MujerArtes. I feel very accomplished and continue to love the arts.
Juana Hilda R.
I am from Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico. I have lived in San Antonio, Tejas for 20 years. I have been with MujerArtes for 6 years learning how to work with clay. My first teacher was Veronica Castillo. I was very happy with her and learned a lot. My second teacher, Imelda Arisméndez, is also a very good teacher and a good friend. She treats me very well and has a lot of patience with me.
