I have been collecting @arizonahighways magazines for a long time, never did I think that I would be featured in it one day. Thank you @kellyanneotjen for your support to share my work and humble beginnings in this beautiful Arizona desert. And grateful to @happiedarian for planting the seed. These beautiful photos are by the amazingly talented @adrianazehbrauskas 📸✨. Y a mi madre y padre, Por sus manos, esfuerzo y apoyo estoy aquí. ¡Los amo un chingo!
In this video, Gloria Martinez-Granados delves deeper into the inspiration and creative process behind the artwork "Hand and Labour." Using cross-stitch on discarded leather, she develops themes around identity, dreams, place, home and land.
"The leather scent is very ephemeral, it really touches you. As I was working with it, I was thinking about that stitch work, and it tied me back down to that memory of my family, getting together to make ends meet." — Gloria Martinez-Granados
This artwork can be viewed in the current exhibition, "We are ten thousand hands that plant seeds" from now until Oct 5, 2025.

I moved to a new studio. And as they say when one door closes you get big windows with random city kitties to look at. But seriously, I am grateful to be in this space and back to creating🪡✨ #artiststudio #dtphx

Las formas de Pachamama. The many forms of Pachamama. These particular photos were shot on an iPhone. A different shooting experience than a mirror less with a big lens. But the crepuscular desert morning granted us the most beautiful colors. We have our tools. #shotoniphone
Madre de la mañana carga nuestra luz y nuestro aliento. In collaboration w @borderlesscreative we aspire to use our inherited symbology and subjective experiences for a new wordless language. #sony #mirrorless #pachamama #sophia
