The artist's newest edition is a special silkscreen, ten runs, done at Coronado Studio, Austin, and hand-stitched by the artist with threads. It features iconic images that Consuelo favors, such as the Virgen de Guadalupe, Emiliano Zapata, the Caution highway sign, and a black and white photo (bottom left corner) of her as a child with her mom and produce crates. The family were migrant farm workers and would travel from Sacramento to Calexico. Yolanda López’s (1942-2021) iconic Chicana feminist portrait, "Portrait of the Artist as the Virgin of Guadalupe" (1978), is also featured, depicting López beaming in the Virgin’s place. Jimenez Underwood shares the importance of the figures she honors in this work: "Their life stories shine Light when there is Darkness. Willing to die for their beliefs, their strength and courage were admirable and worthy to remember and honor."
