Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Chicana artist Marta Sánchez often paints on aluminum, following in the tradition of Mexican retablos, wherein images and text work harmoniously as a direct way of storytelling. Collecting and documenting narrative, family histories, and migration serves as a way to celebrate heritage, as seen in her paintings El Jardin and Blanca Estela’s Paradise, which serves as a memorial for her grandmother, Blanca Estela.
