opened this month in august, it's called "the euphoric dance of the unconquered mind," and it's at centro de artes, texas. it's my largest solo show so far and so it's, you know, extra-exciting that it's out in texas and sharing this work with the san antonio community. the exhibition has 32 of my oil paintings on canvas of meshika dancers from the san francisco bay area. and the paintings are, like, heavy in pastels so i paint with a palette knife and it creates a very, very heavy texture, the very colorful paintings, and i paint from photographs that i take of danzantes of meshika dancers here in the bay area. damian: and i've noticed in watching some of these images that the danzantes they don't have a face, right? they don't have eyes, they don't have a nose, a mouth. tell us about that. elizabeth: yes, so i chose not to paint faces. i think there is one painting, one of--like, among the first, it might have been the second or third in the series that i painted, it showed a little bit of a face, but other than that i decided just to not put any features in the faces of the dancers in the paint
