La Fiesta
La Fiesta (see photo) a joyous sculpture of three Mariachis was installed in the Austin Sister City Plaza of Saltillo, Mexico. La Fiesta was created with a little humor and flair of the Mariachis playing their music while strolling the River Walk in San Antonio. They are wearing sarapes, which originated in Saltillo. The sculpture was dedicated in July, 2008. #2 in the series was selected for the 2012 Lampasas Association of Fine Arts Exhibit, Lampasas, Texas.
