Art is an integral part of culture throughout the world, and it is often expressed in a myriad of colors, shapes, textures and mediums. Mexican culture is a fine example of artistic diversity with its long history of ceremonial, functional, decorative and fine art. Throughout Mexico, art is preserved and continues to live tightly interwoven in the lives of Mexican people living in both cities and pueblos, successfully transcending the class barriers that often segregate its population.

The United States has been slowly developing and improving this same emphasis on community wide access to art, by bringing art out of the museums and out into community supported venues or public spaces. Crisol has made a personal commitment to helping this continuous movement by displaying her own artwork in restaurants, café's, public venues and community events in her efforts to make art assessable to the comunidad.

Influenced by the artist David Alfaro-Siquieros, whom dedicated his masterpieces, murals and community art spaces to the Mexican pueblo, Crisol understands that it is the artist's responsibility to make artwork readily available to ALL. By displaying her art in community outlets, Crisol hopes to share her enthusiasm and love for art with people that may not have the opportunity, resources or access to see art in a museum or gallery. The following collection includes paintings that Crisol has donated to community organizations to promote the importance of artwork, as well as to express the organization's vision.
