She is a self-taught multimedia artist, a published poet, author, and art critic, a lecturer and independent scholar, as well as a stage performer.

She now lives and works in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Aaronson has exhibited her work in France, Israel, Lebanon, Mexico, South Africa, and the USA. She was the official Piccolo Spoleto poster artist, in 1989, 2001, and 2005, and also created posters for The Alliance Française and the Jewish Cultural Center of Charleston, SC.

She holds a BA in History of Art, an MA in French Literature and a PhD in Philosophy and Comparative Literature.

Her creative journey is an adventure of the senses, a synaesthesia of energies and media…beyond frames, beyond categories. Oils, acrylics, canvas, wood, paper, found objects, watercolor, charcoal, monotype, etchings, collage, photography, ceramic, bronze casting, clay… Aaronson touches and transforms everything.

“Whatever I do, the image is the heartbeat of my identity. Multiple and “polypetal,” the image is dug within the core of being, harnessed within the energies of becoming. Images breathe life because the image is skin… and sap…at the same time…

Art is a walking memory… A memory of the senses…A memory of the soul….within and out of time…



Mitzi Bidner owned the “Soho Mercer Gallery” in New York city, and Ottawa in the 1970’s and 80’s. Mitzi Bidner’s paintings have been exhibited Internationally since the early 1970’s until today, in Museums, Galleries and Private Collections.

Recently she began directing visual art films, when she realized that there was a lack of quality art films on living artists, being shown on Television and Internet. The recent theatrical debut of “Art Today’s” series on “The Artists of San Miguel” was an overwhelming success. Sixteen films in this series have been filmed and are in post production.

She is pleased to announce her next series “The Artists of New York City” which will begin production on May 15th, 2008.

His powerful lines and defined colors stand out in works of an original format, full of imagery and energy. Bürkey, who lives and works in both Chile and New York, has now also set up shop here in San Miguel de Allende. As the son of a prominent Chilean art dealer/filmmaker/news correspondent mother and a US truck/taxi driver father, Bürkey has journeyed to a point where his paintings tell their own unique story.

His art schooling began at the Cincinnati School for Creative and Performing Arts, but he has also studied automotive mechanics and worked at nuclear power plants in both the U.S. and Spain. In a way, he is a walking contradiction. His work is also heavily influenced by the inheritance and influences of both ends of America, where he has researched the ancestral and cultural roots of the continent.

The myths and tales of the South Pacific, including that of Lemuria, are also constant inspirations which fuel Tomas’s imagination, his powerful lines, and his energy. Through the loose applications of a very tight color palette, his evocative movement and brush- strokes provide a tone and content reminiscent of Dante’s poetry. Corporal gestures and contortion push the limits of the human figure and imagination while evoking pathos for the searching of the artist in his ever-changing conscience.

He began with paintings and paper mache figures, inaugurating the first exhibit of his works at the Galeria Misracha in Mexico City in 1966. In the early 1970′s, he traveled to Amsterdam, where he further developed his talents. After his return to Guadalajara, he established in 1975, along with other artists, the “Family Workshop Studio” in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, Mexico.

While Bustamante’s works initially focused on painting and paper mache, his talents inevitably led, in the mid-1970′s, to the creation of sculptures in wood and bronze, many reflecting animal themes. 1979 marked the inauguration of innovative furniture designs in wood and glass with bronze accents, currently available in distinctive patterns and motifs. The creation of ceramic sculptures in the mid-1980′s provided avenues for the use of color and form in ways not previously explored.

In 1992, the initiation of an extensive line of exquisite jewelry in bronze, gold and silver, many set with precious and semi-precious stones and, again, often reflecting animal themes, marked a new and expansive direction for his creations. In this same year, a new series of paper mache sculptures was introduced. In the new millennium, Bustamante continues to explore uncharted paths for the further expression of his uniquely imaginative and gifted talents.

Each piece belongs to a limited edition and is created by hand, therefore unique. A certificate of authenticity duly signed by the artists itself is attributed to each sculpture. All works are of very good quality, and pieces of small and big size up to four (4) meters high are available. It is amazing how Sergio Bustamante can project all that magic and fascination to each one of his works.

The art collection of many private residences, public buildings, and museums in every part of the planet has been enriched by Sergio Bustamante’s works. The Mexican government even elected them for official gifts to state governors and to high personalities.

His works are more and more wanted around the globe (Mexico, United States, Japan, Europe, and recently Russia); therefore they will probably increase in value over the next years.
