ABOUT THE ARTIST
Growing up in Mexico, Catalina Delgado-Trunk developed a lifelong love of Mesoamerican cultural traditions, especially that of papel picado (cut paper). After a long career in the United States teaching French and ballet, she returned to art school in her 40s and reconnected with her childhood love. For two decades now, the artist has made large-scale cut-paper works that blend pre-Columbian stories and images with subjects from the contemporary world. In her work, the artist celebrates the rich traditions by condensing the complex stories of legend into readable images, bridging the divides that separate cultures.
Catalina is the recipient of the 2015 Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts.
