Marta is currently working on a series of paintings of the San Antonio train yards near her childhood home. Through these paintings, she explores the role of trains in the Mexican migration through the Southern Pacific.
Carpas, traveling circus and vaudeville troupes that performed throughout Mexico, are the inspiration for another series that has captivated Marta's creative energies recently. The family connection to this series is Marta's great-grandfather, who was a lion tamer in the golden age of the Carpas and died at a young age from a puncture wound received from a lion.
