Ellen Noel Art Museum 4909 E. University, Odessa, TX, United StatesGuadalupe Hernandez is a Texas-based artist who earned his MFA from Houston Baptist University in 2021. Hernandez was born in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, before relocating to Pleasanton, TX, a small city south of San Antonio, in 1998. Despite the move to the United States, Hernandez maintained a deep connection to his Mexican heritage and customs through time-honored familial traditions. This exhibit pays homage to his parents who left their homeland in search of a brighter future for their family.

The level of skill, precision, and care required to produce these delicate designs serve as a visual representation of his love and admiration for the sacrifices his parents made. A few of Hernandez's most recent accomplishments include the Nest Heritage Craft Prize for his […]
