Lilia Cabrera has been teaching the multifariousness of facets that brand up public school art teaching since 1999. In 2007, Cabrera started teaching art education courses at UT- Pan American Edinburg, TX.
Cabrera'south creative experiences are securely rooted in Brownsville, Texas, where she was built-in and raised. Upon graduating from Homer Hanna Loftier School, Cabrera pursued her Available of Fine art at the University of Texas- Pan American. Her specialized training is in secondary fine art education and printmaking. In 2007, Cabrera fulfilled her passion in completing a Masters in Art Education through the Texas Tech University hill state program known as the Junction School of Art.
Her success in educational activity art in such a mode where students can learn to appreciate it as if information technology were a core subject area has delivered positive change in the most challenging of students from differing backgrounds. Her teaching manner weighs heavily on encouraging college order thinking and critical problem-solving skills, along with real life situations, in order to teach students to practice their imaginations and promote art making. Her exercise has earned her the recognition of being a Texas Art Educational activity Association (TAEA) Leadership Scholar. She collaborates with TAEA in reforming state standards for art educators in the public and private school districts across the country.
Even so, "first and foremost," Lilia Cabrera is an artist. Cabrera'south art consists of amoeba-like, organic-similar, claw-like, sperm-like, and absurd-like figures that harmonize in a strange 'assail style' operation in her art. She likes to refer to this entourage as 'La Contra,' which basically is that strength that lurks around contradicting everything that is the 'creative you.' The taboo of existence a female person artist determined to succeed in the art world through the creation of art that nurtures and plays the game with 'La Contra.' Cabrera'due south canvas, or surface for art making usually consists of recycled items. Aluminum cans, plastic bottles, furniture crates, discarded plaster, and outdated organdy are only a few things that she utilizes in stamping her fight and eternal relationship with 'La Contra.' Cabrera imagines herself creating fine art for the rest of her life, teaching people the value of art in our everyday activities, and producing every bit much recycled art works in an effort to brainwash
the viewer of 'trash' alternatives.

My piece of work is generally improvisational. That includes sculptural and time‐based actions that extend into social infinite. Exemplified in a functioning collaborative chosen the Nationwide Museum Mascot Project (NWMMP), we appoint in sight specific performance making with the aim of promoting Museums and Fine art spaces to the public. I consider my piece of work a social activity that tin be a catalyst for discourse and community. Considering I see my work as a fulcrum for listening and talking, the piece of work that is produced can be, and often is, dispensable. I prefer the transitory energetic interaction betwixt human beings over the stored energy of a built-to-last object. Another way to put it is that fine art, for me, is a beautiful context to assist usa communicate with one another.
I love the alchemy of making. I beloved the swiftness of fabricating from found materials. For me, art is about discovering the dazzler that others overlook, and juxtaposing disparate objects and ideas to create something never seen before-at least by me. Execution must exist fast, materials must be inexpensive, and the idea must spark me to activity. There are e'er reasons not to make stuff, just if I don't make information technology, who volition? At least, who will make it similar I volition make it?
There are times when the ideas come then quickly that I am overwhelmed. In those moments, it has to be enough to fix a thought to newspaper in the course of a sketch or brief text. By hanging a notion in a sketch-book I tin can retrieve information technology later; pull it out and put it on. I recently gave a talk at UCLA about drawing. While researching the talk I understood that for me, drawing is a fashion of property an idea. The cartoon, whether it is in the form of a quick sketch, a detailed drawing, a water color, or a finished piece, brings elusive thinking and thoughts into focus but enough, not to solidify and footing something into a fix reality, but to go on it alive, fix to be acted upon in the concrete earth.
Allan Kaprow once said to me: "You make skillful work but you call up too much." Merely play. Just practice. This is a call to activeness that I have never forgotten.

Corinne Whittemore is an artist, single mother, graphic designer and educator. She grew upwards in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV), received her MFA in Visual Communications from the University of Arizona and has been educational activity at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley for the past six years in graphic design. Corinne has worked in the field of graphic pattern for over fifteen years as a Product Artist, Graphic Designer, Marketing Coordinator and Freelancer on both the East and Westward Coasts. She lived, most recently, in Virginia Embankment, VA earlier moving back to the RGV in 2014. Corinne has and continues to freelance, consult, and exhibits her artwork locally and nationally.
Having grown up in the RGV, Corinne has first-hand experience with its unique border civilisation and, claiming it as her own, has focused her enquiry and artwork around the hybridity of her frontier identity. Collaboration is integral to both her art and graphic blueprint and Corinne is currently collaborating with two other women poets, Katherine Hoerth and Julieta Corpus, to produce a book of art and poetry called 'Borderland Mujeres.'
Frontier Mujeres is a collaborative, bilingual conversation in poetry and art depicting the multifaceted experiences of women living in the borderlands of deep south Texas. In this fraught political climate, much has been written ABOUT the Rio Grande Valley and U.S/United mexican states border, only what about the people who call this place home? 3 women, each with a different relationship to the borderlands, come together to offer their vision of the cultural, linguistic, and ecological landscape of a region that is multifaceted, complex, and full of both majestic beauty and stark reality. The resulting poems and images explore what information technology means to exist a woman living in this contested space from unlike perspectives, angles, and voices. This project challenges the masculinized narrative of the region, the images of a militarized and dangerous space, and the thought of a centered, singular identity of the peoples of the borderlands. This projection hopes to spark questions and chat about identity, feminisms, and the idea of collaboration/ekphrasis in fine art and verse and is scheduled to be published in 2021.
