About this mural:

I was commissioned through the YWCA of Austin to collaborate on a Dia de los Muertos and community themed project to promote community, sisterhood, and mental health advocacy and awareness. The mural features the xoloitzcuintle, a culturally significant dog for the traditions practiced and observed regarding the afterlife. They are protectors in both planes of existence and continue to guide us after we leave this earth. The marigolds are also a big part of the cultural practices, and are used in their days of celebration.
