Artist's Description

In more ways than one, this is a quite likely an old site of Maya worship. There has been a Catholic church on this spot in the Barrio of Santa Ana since the 1500's. The first church was built to serve the indigenous people who lived in barrio de Santa Ana at that time.

About Mark Tisdale

Mark Tisdale

Life is full of happy surprises. After just over a decade working in the 9 to 5 cube world, I threw caution to the wind to follow my dreams of being a full time visual artist.
