Raquel Hinojosa
Biography:
I was born in 1968 in a little border town near the tip of Texas, and although it may be small in population, its grand in name. Roma is the neighbor city to Miguel Aleman, Tamaulipas, Mexico. To get from one town to the other, just cross the bridge that towers above the Rio Grande, and visit another culture of its own.
I was raised in Miguel Aleman until the age of ten or so. I recall the endless visits to my father's ranch. My mother's picnic basket (now perched above my computer armoire )filled with saltine crackers, avocadoes and sardines. The "Jaripeos" (rodeos), the marching horses, the tremondous bulls and the traditional costumes worn by beautiful Mexican women. I have no doubt my childhood is my biggest influence.
At the age of ten, the revelation of having, if not talent, at least the ability to see and transcribe the forms around me began. From 1979 - 1980 I began my first art studies in Cuidad Mier, Tamaulipas. I completed eleven oil paintings by the age of eleven and participated in my first art show by the age of thirteen. I've won several awards, participated in over twenty art shows, and have sold work throughout the United States and Mexico.
