I have been on pins and needles for almost a month now waiting to hear back from the Mission Cultural Center. I submitted several pieces for the "Solo Mujeres" show and just got a call, they accepted 5! How awesome is that ! I am so excited I can't even work. The paintings that will be displayed are, Volcanenas de Minero, Las Viejitas, Chocolate Bate Bate, El Rio Me Sustiene and Angelita de la Guardia.

I've been wanting to post a little blurb on this for while but didn't want to jinx myself until it was finalized.

I can't wait to see it and read the rest of the story! I've never met Judith Ortiz Cofer, but I've started reading her books and poetry.

I feel like I can officially say and respond to that eternal question "Who are you today, Maria?"... Today I am a published artist! yippee! Thank you McDougall Littell and Judith for the opportunity.
