“I needed to make this work not only for
my own mental and spiritual well being, but also to remind myself that through the act of creating something beautiful and magical I could also provide some solace for others My efforts attempt to create the feeling of a peaceful dream with a little magic, a sense of calmness and quiet, and
a bit of an escape from this world ”

“Drawn from his own experience as a farmworker, Martinez’s work focuses on the people performing the labors necessary
to fill produce sections and restaurant kitchens around the country Martinez’s portraits of farmworkers are painted, drawn, and expressed in sculpture on discarded produce boxes collected from grocery stores In a style informed by 1930s-era Social Realism and heightened through use of found materials, Martinez makes visible the difficult labor and
onerous conditions of the “American farmworker,” itself a compromised piece of language owing to the industry’s
conspicuous use of undocumented workers.”

Lotería Series
“Inspired by the Mexican Bingo game
“Lotería ,” these silkscreen prints capture a
juxtaposition of my Mexican roots and my
upbringing in the Pacific NW Each design
was hand drawn and transferred onto a
screen where each color was printed by
using the “reduction” method with a total of
3-8 layers of ink, depending on the piece.”
“What do the numbers mean? The original
Mexican Loteria game ends with card
number 54, therefore, my version of the
Loteria begins with number 55 and
continues on.” -christietiradoart.com

• “Inspired by Mexican Printmaking Studios or Talleres Graficos
of Oaxaca Mexico— Christie’s art has focused on representing different perspectives of the work conducted by Mexican
farmworkers laboring in the agricultural industry in the US What she aims to encompass here are iterations of a Yakima Artist, between aesthetics and politics, between the personal and the social— and the senses of place produced in the
interstice This piece was created with our nation’s essential workers in mind.”
