About the Artist
Sarah Gonzales Busse (La Sirena de La Techxicana Studio) is a Generation X artist, activist, Tejana futurist, advocate, and mother of three (not including pets and wannabe adoptees), whose work focuses on individuals as signifiers and paradoxes within the human condition. She is drawn specifically to how, individually and collectively, we color or distort our natural and cultural geographies, embody and inhabit narrative histories, internalize generational traumas, and recreate cosmological patterns. Her work often features women and children as primary messengers and receivers within spare or abstracted landscapes.
Her materials and approaches have ranged from painting, drawing, and sculpture, to more recently working with natural dyes and traditional methods on paper, print, and textile works and installations, as she reacts to being an artist and mother in these times of evolving cultural narratives, performative digital living, and really dire global climate and economic uncertainties.
Born and currently based with her family in San Antonio, TX, her work and practice is also influenced by time spent living in Southern California, the Pacific Northwest, and the Peloponnese. She studied at Pomona College and the Claremont Colleges (BA, Studio Art, Painting and Sculpture), the College Year in Athens program, and the Southwest School of Art.
