     Elizet Villarreal started going to the gym at 17 years old as senior in high school. She fell in love with the weights and how it could transform her body. When she was 21 a lady approached her at the gym and asked she'd train her. She said yes and got certified and her clientele grew and grew. She absolutely loved every aspect of personal training.

    .

    In this episode of Cuadros Corner I talked to local model, artist, mom and realtor, Jennifer Poppy who recently moved to the Rio Grande Valley from Hawaii about 3 years ago. She has been involved not only in helping families find their dream homes but has been a constant participant in the art scene. I would like to preface that this episode was recorded in mid July 2023 before the unfortunate fires that affected many people in Maui, Hawaii.

    .

    .

    Jennifer's bio is as follows:

    .

    .

    "Jennifer Poppy is a Native Texan, with family roots that go back here 200 years. While she loves the Lone Star State, she also has a heart of adventure and in 2012 moved to Maui, Hawaii. Making that move taught her many things, including how to live more simply, stay connected with nature and the independence of living on the most remote island chain in the world.

    .

    Jennifer moved to the valley in 2021, along with her three children. Since moving to McAllen, she’s met many creatives, artists and entrepreneurs. She’s a real estate agent as well as an artist and model. She’s passionate about connecting with people & building strong ties in her community through her work and life."

  • Jason Ray Perez EP 27

    In this episode of Cuadros Corner #27 I was able to sit down with a Rio Grande Valley artist who passionately loves art. He spoke to me about how the strokes from his brush is therapeutic as he slides his colorful wet paint on the canvas; truly expressing his inner most feelings.

    .

    .

    .

    His bio is as follows:

    .

    .

    "Born in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley (Weslaco, Texas), Jason Ray Perez is a self-taught, South Texas, mixed media and pyrography artist. His artistic styles range from modern/neo contemporary expressionism to street art, to traditional Mexican pyrography folk art.

    .

    .

    Perez initially made his introductory public appearance as an independent artist in 2009, by curating and promoting his first solo exhibit titled "Only in Dreams". Since then, Perez has remained an active supporter of the South Texas art scene, he has participated in numerous group exhibits internationally, nationally and throughout the state of Texas; including, three gallery level solo art exhibits titled "Alas De Mis Angeles" (2011), "Illicit Visions" (2013) and "LACONISM" (2016).

    .

    .

    In 2017 several of Perez' artworks were recognized by District 40, state of Texas Representative Terry Canales, and are currently exhibited in The Texas State Capitol in Austin, Texas. In 2023 one of Perez' paintings titled "Shinaai" (brothers), a memorial homage to his late best friend Max Moreno (lead singer of Costello), was inducted to one of the oldest and largest Native American museums in the United States, the American Indian Center in Chicago, Illinois, for permanent display.

    .

    .

    Perez has been dubbed "The Patron Saint of Valley Art", has curated countless exhibits for many reputable visual artists and is a major socialite amongst the RGV's thriving art and entertainment scene. Perez continues to create art, he is the founder of the McAllen Art Crawl, former co-founder and former curator of the Phoenix Art Gallery and is the art director for several establishments located in McAllen's Art District where he both exhibits his art works and hosts art exhibits for local and visiting artists."
