The Amon Carter Museum of Art acquires Familia Series

About The Series

Familia is a suite of four woodcuts, created over the span of two years, that discuss family, cultural identity, religion, and humility.

Heed and Epilogue were co published and funded by Dr. Gilberto Cardenas and the Flatbed Center for Contemporary Printmaking. These two prints published in 2020 joined Salvation and Justice & Righteousness, finishing the Familia suite that was started in 2018. Each of the four wood blocks measure 36 inches wide and 62 inches high.

The series was first displayed in my solo exhibition Over My Head which received tremendous reviews and is now in the permanent collections of The Amon Carter Museum of Art and The Blanton Museum of Art. This series has gone on to be displayed in galleries and art fairs in various states across the country including New York, California, New Mexico, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, Virginia, and Maryland.

Individual prints from within this series have been added to the permanent collections of several museums and institutions. However, the Amon Carter Museum of Art is the first museum to acquire this series in its entirety.
