MARGARITA MALDONADO

Other; Chalk artist/Street painter

Bio Margarita Maldonado has been drawing for as long as she can remember. While she dabbled in oil painting and watercolor, she started street painting about fifteen years ago and quickly fell in love with the medium. Community interaction and being able to share the art process with others is the joy. Margarita lives in San Antonio, Texas. Artist Statement I love color, I love working outside, I love sharing art and the art process with other people. When I first started doing my street paintings, I had no idea that the art of street painting could be traced back to the sixteenth century and the Italian Madonnari , itinerant artists who reproduced church paintings onto the pavement for the public. Suddenly, my chosen form of art made sense. It was as if I had found my people. On the street, on the sidewalk, I can share beauty.

Tessa Matiella

Literary Arts: Poet

I studied modern dance, theater, and choir in college. I am a certified San Antonio Museum of Art docent. I attended Northwest Vista College and graduated honors with an Associate in Arts. I am a current choir member of a Catholic church in Boerne, Texas. Between preparing for choir rehearsal, and jogging and biking for charity at times, I craft poetry and essays most often on nature, spirituality, and experiences that I am affected by deeply. I mostly write in poetic and essay type formats, and mostly photograph nature and scenery.

Jonathan Treviño

Media Arts: Filmmaker, Media/Visual Communications, New Media/Technology, Producer; Multi-Disciplinary: Multiple Art Forms; Teaching Artist/Instructor; Visual Arts: Illustrator, Jeweler, Maker, Mixed Media Artist, Painter, Photographer, Sculptor, Textiles; Contemporary Artist, Creative Consultant, Art Director, Graphic Artist

Jonathan Treviño (b.1989) earned a BFA with Honors in Photography from Parsons The New School for Design's Art, Media & Technology program in 2013 while concurrently studying Jewelry Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology, working as a fashion photography assistant for clients ranging from VOGUE, Dazed Magazine, CLASH, and Sephora before working as Studio Manager, Producer, and Photographer for clients such as NIKE, Victory Journal, Highsnobiety, and Juxtapoz for Art Basel Miami. Trevino's multi-disciplinary artworks function as spiritual investigations into the construction of American identity and the absurdity of the quest for self-perfection represented in glamour and luxury as extensions of colonial religious values and notions of The New in art. Through works ranging from video installation, performance, found object sculptures, illustration, and portrait photography, Treviño uses contemporary iconography and art history to analyze the generational effects of Western religion, philosophy, and law upon spiritual family relationships, particularly between parents, children, and LGBT individuals in the city of San Antonio, while meditating on Earth matter as memetic sensory pathways toward understanding the numinous reveries and longings of proletariat life and toward accessing ancestral memories about the worlds we used to live in; spiritual experiences which may reveal themselves to us in solitude, in sleep, through the screen, and in the city after dark.
