Susan Cervantes

[7] She was asked to help paint with the Mujeres Muralistas at Paco's Tacos, a restaurant on the corner of 24th and South Van Ness, which marks the moment she lost interest in her studio work on canvas.

[12] Maestrapiece is a monumental mural, created by Susan Cervantes and six other artists with the help of over one hundred volunteers, that depicts vibrant and powerful images of women from various cultures and historical periods, highlighting their strength, resilience, and contributions to society.

[15] The mural’s use of textiles includes Zapotec fabrics, Chinese needlework, and North American quilts, all which constitute a popular form of artistic expression for women all around the world.

Also among their slew of programs is a toddler art class, support for young student artists through exhibitions of their work, and providing educational tours of the murals in the neighborhood.
