Beatriz Alcaraz is a Latina artist from Portland Oregon. Her work shows a lot of Black and Brown women coexisting with nature, animals, and gardens of fruits and flowers. She likes to show a lot of symbolic imagery that invokes preserving and caring for nature and the gift we have received to co-exist with animals and plants. Her work is also heavily inspired by her Mexican culture and her mother’s garden.

Worshipping Nature is a 40×40 canvas piece that shows Black and Brown women coexisting with ocean life and other sorts of animals. She wants to show women gardening flowers, picking fruit, and hanging out with the animals and plants. She wants to show imagery of women spending time with nature and getting to know it. This piece will hopefully inspire folks who see this to remember to love our home. It is irreplaceable and something we can’t buy. The imagery will display the love and beauty of the natural world.
