I've become really interested in Angelica Becerra's work in watercolor and printmaking. I have known of her since I first met her Fall Quarter of this year when she was a TA for Chicano 10A, and we discussed our different work in watercolor painting. I also listen to her podcasts, Anzalduing It, and hearing her speak about her experiences as a Graduate student and an artist interests me as to how she balances both of those jobs on top of other jobs.
Her art also speaks to me because she does portrait work of influential muxeres throughout history, and that is something I have always been inspired by in my own painting. I wish to understand more of what inspires her and how she came to work with watercolor as a self-identified queer femme Chicana who has multiple oppressions fighting against her.
