Las Güeritas by Jordan Godlewski Las Güeritas is a shared love of creating between two artisans, Crystal Mitchell and Teresa Mendenhall. Mitchell and Mendenhall both started creating art as a therapeutic tool that helps them stay in touch with their artistic side despite both of them being full-time working mothers. “Las Güeritas’ inspiration is primarily based in the traditional Mexican Dia de Los Muertos shrines and sugar skulls,” Mitchell said. “American culture encourages us to get over the death of our loved ones as quickly as possible because mortality is a subject that makes people uncomfortable.” Both artists are share how they are fascinated and inspired by Dia de los Muertos. “Dia de los Muertos honors the life of the deceased with food, drinks and other mementos to remember them in a way that is more of a celebration than a funeral which we find fascinating,” Mitchell said. Mitchell and Mendenhall both recall creating art at an early age only to join together to create Las Güeritas. “We have both been creative from an early age,” Mitchell said. “Teresa remembers putting together Halloween costumes and I remember hot gluing buttons to my Valentine’s Day boxes. We have recently collaborated our creative efforts over the last six months.” Find more photos online at www.OKIEMagazine.com or www.lasgueritas.com Crystal Mitchell and Teresa Mendenhall.
