Jc Mccarthy

JC McCarthy (Jennifer Winkley) is a self-taught artist whose hometown is El Paso, Texas.  In 1990 she moved into a small brick building, formerly a brothel, on the edge of the U.S.-Mexican border where her work was informed by the light and shadow of the Chihuahuan Desert, the outlaw dust of the border town and the desert stones with lines and colors that resembled the petrified organs of ancient creatures.  Currently, she lives and works in Santa Fe, NM.
