Meet Dora Zeneth Reynosa, a Muralist & Painter residing in Dallas, TX.  2023 Bio:  "For Dora Reynosa, artistically known as Zeneth, art is more than color, technique and visual expression. It is hope, connection, and the chance to communicate with our inner child. The multidisciplinary visual artist and muralist was born and raised in Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico, before moving to Dallas. Her art contains a child-like frankness inspired by Modernist compositions, Mesoamerican glyphs, and the human need for expression. Today, Zeneth’s paintings are almost “explosions” of embroidery. Her abstract designs, bold expressions of color, and precise, clean lines create striking and thought-provoking compositions. They are an exploration of her inner child, andan invitation for you to reconnect with yours." Instagram: @byzeneth Website: www.byzeneth.com Contact Buried DreamsFollow us on Instagram at @burieddreamspodcast for the latest updatesFor guest suggestions or inquiries, email us at [email protected] for listening!
