Artwork by Ana Alicia Romero
Ana Alicia Romero’s paintings are inspired by her Hispanic heritage and her love of Dia de los Muertos, her favorite holiday. Her piece “Catrina Rosa”, which depicts a skeleton dressed in traditional Mexican garb and carrying a basket of flowers on her head has become the face of Decatur’s Dia de los Muertos celebration which brings thousands of festival-goers to downtown Decatur on November 2nd each year.
