Hello friends! As everyone is now getting ready for Thanksgiving break (and so are we) we’d love you to check out this weekend’s cultural art event in the Houston Area, Music, Poetry, Theater, Dance, Film and Visual Arts will be some of the ingridients, we are sure you don’t wanna miss out. One of our favorite one is Lizbeth Ortiz, we do love her work and we are sure you all are gonna love it too. Check it out son!

Lizbeth Ortiz is a Houston-based artist born in Mexico City but moved to the U.S when she was only 2 years old, she later moved back to Mexico as she learned more about her culture and traditions. Lizbeth attended to High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston, TX and she majored in Visual Arts and graduated in 1994. Some of her work is themed around phases of love as a result of witnessing the September 11th terrorist attack. Lizbeth’s first solo show was in October 2001 which would become the first of many “Dia de los Muertos” exhibit for her to create.

Lizbeth is a member of the National Association of Latino Arts and Culture and has worked with artists such as Amalia Mesa-Bains and Delilah Montoya.
Today Lizbeth continues to collaborate with various oriented organizations as Teatro Bilingue de Houston and The Houston Institute for Culture.
