Guanajuato-born Artist Feted for her First Book

The Museo Dieguino proved to be a perfect place to honor Isaura Izquierdo's first illustrated book, Manisa y las alas magicas / Manisa and the Magic Wings. 
Among my favorites

Isaura's collage illustrations were on view in the galleries at each end of the museum, with many Guanajuatenses joining Isaura and Martha Romero, the author, in the  large interior space, including her proud artist mother Loreta. Her equally proud father, the artist Raul Izquierdo, besides being up-to-date by congratulating  her on Facebook, was on hand for the presentation of the book a few days later   
Serious business for the illustrator, a pleasure for her audience


"A good beginning"
The book illustrations showed Isaura's imaginative perspectives as well as her patient dexterity in shaping the wings from doilies. After finishing at the University of Guanajuato, Isaura studied illustration at the San Carlos Museum in Mexico City.
