This online museum was curated in tribute to my late aunt María Concepción Cantú Karr, who served as an art teacher and painter in Linares, Nuevo León. My collection focuses on the best of Mexican values and highlights a theme of hardworking hands in art, policy, and writing.

Lately I’ve been asking my grandmother a lot of questions about her childhood in Linares, Nuevo Leon also nicknamed “El Pueblo Mágico” (the Magical Town). And the way she describes those days under the Mexican sky just warms my heart.
