<meta name="description" content="Roc&iacute;o Heredia is a self-taught artist of the contemporary 
 
Mexican generation. Her work reflects the evolving artistic and cultural traditions of Mexico, from the 
 
ancient Aztec and Teotihuacan societies to the complexities of the Spanish conquest, up to recent 
 
times. Ms. Heredia began her career in metal art by creating ornamental panels with religious subjects 
 
drawn from Catholicism and Judaism. Her mentor, Master Painter/Sculptor Efrén Ordóñez, provided 
 
support and inspiration, and collaborated with Ms. Heredia to create panels featuring painted human 
 
figures. Ms. Heredia?s early work was exhibited in a one-woman show, ?Divine Inspiration,? at the 
 
Loyola Cultural Center of Monterrey in May, 2001. Since then, Ms. Heredia has been the recipient of 
 
numerous recognitions and awards for skillful and passionately realized themes. She has studied with 
 
Valentin Yotkov in New York, and was the first recipient of the Valentin Yotkov Studio Scholarship. Ms. 
 
Heredia's works are in private collections in Mexico, the USA, Switzerland, Israel, Spain, Ireland, 
 
Germany and Italy. Currently, Ms. Heredia divides her time among metal art, professional website 
 
creation (Web-Mex), and graphic design. Ms. Heredia is a member of the Council for Culture and the 
 
Arts León, the Society of American Silversmiths, and the Society of North American Goldsmiths.  She 
 
holds a degree in Psychology from the Regiomontana University of Monterrey, Nuevo León. Ms. Heredia 
 
uses the traditional metalsmithing techniques of chasing and repoussé in high relief to create fully 
 
detailed icon covers, Judaica, and figurative art designs on fine silver, copper, gold and tin. Currently 
 
she experiments with 24k gold fusion, textures and patinas. Crucial to Ms. Heredia?s work is the unusual 
 
way in which she has turned a physical handicap into a creative advantage. Suffering from visual 
 
impairment, she uses the sense of touch as a basic tool whose effectiveness is evinced by her finely-
 
detailed, highly-wrought surfaces. Awards: Valentin Yotkov Studio Scholarship. 2001, Brooklyn, New 
 
York. 3rd. Place BTDesign Master of the Year 2001 Award, 2nd. Best Artworks & 2nd. Best Artsite, 
 
Faenza, RA, Italy. Metalwerx First Artist in Residence Award/Grant 2003, Waltham, MA. Dorothy 
 
MacKenzie Annual Purchase Award, 2004. Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH. The 
 
purpose of this annual award is to purchase an outstanding artwork for the Dorothy MacKenzie 
 
Collection of Jewelry and Metalwork, in Bowling Green State University?s permanent collection. Fred de 
 
Vos Studio Scholarship, Il Chiostro, Venice, Italy, 2005. Following her awards in 2001, Ms. Heredia began 
 
her ongoing collaboration with BTDesign Art Gallery, interviewing guest artists and evaluating sculptors 
 
for the Master Annual Art Award.  Her interviews with prominent artists can be viewed at 
 
http://www.rocioheredia.com/interview . Teaching:  Ms. Heredia has offered workshops in repousse 
 
and other techniques at the Stockton Jewelry Arts School, in Stockton, CA; Metalwerx, Waltham, MA; 
 
Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH; and the Dolores Valenza Studio, New York, NY.  She 
 
has taught private classes since 1997. Artist's Statement  ?My artwork expresses that which my words 
 
cannot. I strive for fine detail and precision, and have been told that, from a viewer's standpoint, it is 
 
intriguing to imagine what goes into the work.  Chasing and Repousse are both dependent on a well-
 
developed drawing ability and the correct use of the chasing tools. These metalworking techniques 
 
trained my eyes for the precision necessary to create harmonious images impressed in metal. Each 
 
piece is completely hand-made.  The surface of every piece is colored with patina so to produce 
 
oxidation and then it is polished to enhance the three-dimensional quality of the design.  I really enjoy 
 
going deep into the detail, no matter how much time it takes. Basically, I use my heightened sense of 
 
touch, which helps me to define what my eyes cannot perceive. The medium of metal is an inspiration 
 
to create art, and it moves me to choose my subjects... but lately, it looks as if the subject chooses 
 
me. My Saint George series is now an inspiration for some to conquer their own dragons... emphasizing 
 
the expressive importance of an icon, as well as the comprehension of its message?.  The viewer 
 
identifies himself/herself with the human figure: Saint George rides a horse that prevails by its size, 
 
providing him with strength and vigor. The position of the characters in the piece is very important.  
 
Saint George is elevated skywards by the horse, whereas the dragon  is lower, inferior, as it were closer 
 
to hell.  Saint George attacks the beast with his lance, but his not actually killing the dragon symbolizes 
 
his desire to master the obstacles of daily life.  In Catholicism, the dragon represents the demon, that 
 
negative energy that, without control, can reduce us to the level of beasts.  The triumph of the hero 
 
over the dragon dramatizes the victory of the human being over chaos ... e.g., over natural disasters.  
 
It is a personal fight against disease; the conflict between good and evil; and attraction-avoidance, or 
 
the temptation of sin and the desire to avoid it.  The icon is a symbol that becomes an object of 
 
veneration by its intrinsic union with the divine forces that it represents. ~ Roc&iacute;o Heredia.">

is a self-taught artist of the contemporary Mexican generation. Her work reflects
the evolving artistic and cultural traditions of Mexico, from the ancient Aztec
and Teotihuacan societies to the complexities of the Spanish conquest, up to recent
times. Ms. Heredia began her career in metal art by creating ornamental panels
with religious subjects drawn from Catholicism and Judaism. Her mentor, Master
Painter/Sculptor Efrén Ordóñez, provided support and inspiration, and collaborated
with Ms. Heredia to create panels featuring painted human figures. Ms. Heredia's
early work was exhibited in a one-woman show, &quot;Divine Inspiration,&quot;
at the Loyola Cultural Center of Monterrey in May, 2001. Since then, Ms. Heredia
has been the recipient of numerous recognitions and awards for skillful and passionately
realized themes. She has studied with Valentin Yotkov in New York, and was the
first recipient of the Valentin Yotkov Studio Scholarship. Ms. Heredia's works
are in private collections in Mexico, the USA, Canada, Switzerland, Italy, 
Israel, Spain, Germany, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Colombia, Cuba and Thailand. Currently, Ms. Heredia divides her time among metal art, 
alternative photography, printmaking, professional
website creation, and graphic design. Ms. Heredia is a member of the
  Cultural Information System ~ National Council for the Culture and the Arts, the Council for Arts and 
 
Culture
of Nuevo León, the Society of American Silversmiths, &amp; the Society of&nbsp; North

<p><font size="2" face="MS Sans Serif, Verdana, Arial">&nbsp;  Rocio holds a degree&nbsp;in Psychology from&nbsp;the Regiomontana University
of Monterrey, Nuevo León. Ms. Heredia uses the traditional metalsmithing techniques
of chasing and repoussé in high relief to create fully detailed icon covers, Judaica,
and figurative art designs on fine silver, copper, gold and tin. Currently she
experiments with 24k gold fusion, textures. patinas and techniques.
Rocio Heredia enjoys </font>
<font face="MS Sans Serif, Verdana, Arial" size="2">exploring what can be done with other 
techniques and media. Photography, printmaking, graphite drawing, painting, and 
she absolutely loves metalsmithing. To this day it's still her strongest suit. Crucial to Ms. Heredia's
work is the unusual way in which she has turned a physical handicap into a creative
advantage. Suffering from visual impairment, she uses the sense of touch as a 
basic tool, the effectiveness of which is evidenced in her finely detailed, 
highly-wrought surfaces. </font></p>
