resides in Veracruz, Mexico, one of the cultural treasures of Mexico. Mrs. Sotomayor's work combines the exuberance of the region's landscape and the charm of its people in a magical artistic technique that exemplifi es the core richness of Mexico. For Mrs. Sotomayor, painting is an existential ex- pression that defi nes her soul. Her surroundings of tropical beauty and nature, as well as the diversity of her people are constant sources of artistic inspiration. Inspired by the great works of Diego Rivera, Mrs. Sotomayor incorporates in her art indigenous people, nature and culture in a way that only she can achieve. Simply put, her work canvases the heart of this southeastern region of Mexico.

Mrs. Sotomayor's art emphasizes the traits of cultural and sociologi- cal reality of a part of Mexico such as Diego, Kahlo and other Mexican artists have done in the past. In one of her latest collections, Zongolica, she emphazises the natural beauty of indigineous women and their ev- ery day environment. The simplicity of their indumentary, usually a white blouse and black skirt and a col- orful reboso, resembles a rainbow contrasting the region's green veg-
etation after an afternoon rain. With eyes that express love and meekness, the women of Zongolica are an excellent dem- onstration of Mrs. Sotomayor's ability to capture magical mo- ments of Mexico's indigenous richness and beauty in a canvas. The combination of color and textures creates a quiet duality that only Mrs. Sotomayor's pallette can create.
Mrs. Sotomayor also has an extensive background in can- vasing still nature. In Mrs. Sotomayor Flowers collection, she combines the charm and beauty of multicolored fl owers and other regional natural elements that characterizes her work. A lovely combination of colors, dimension and subjects makes her work simply delightful.
