Artwork Description

Consuelo “Chelo” González Amezcua moved to Texas when she was ten. Though she was unable to follow her dream of going to art school, she still devoted her life to making art. Amezcua incised stones and drew in a fine, ornate style she called “Texas filigree art.” She depicted resplendent flora and fauna, grand buildings, women in Mexican dress, and royal and religious characters of the world to celebrate both her Mexican-American heritage and an expansive love of poetry, mythology, and history.
