Work Creator notes (display):

Maria Montelibre was born as Maria Edith Freiberg on July 28, 1942, in Resistencia, Argentina. She received her bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Buenos Aires in 1963. After graduating, Montelibre accompanied her first husband to the United States to find work, though they occasionally returned to Argentina. Ultimately, the couple settled in Michigan. In 1973, she earned her master's degree in psychology from the University of Detroit. She eventually relocated to Denver, where she started Montelibre Monthly and worked as an interpreter for Spanish-speaking defendants. Montelibre also campaigned tirelessly for liberal causes locally, nationally and internationally. She became active in social justice primarily because of her parents' experiences in the former Nazi Germany. Her parents were Jewish, and they escaped, relocating to Argentina. Much of Montelibre's work on behalf of liberal causes was done through her writings and the publication of her monthly newspaper, Montelibre Monthly, which primarily consisted of news from Latin America. Mrs. Freiberg also wrote a column and translated articles for Denver's bilingual newspaper, El Semanario, for nearly 15 years. She lived in Denver for nearly 30 years but relocated to Santa Cruz, California, in 2003. Here, she found steady work as a courtroom interpreter. Montelibre passed away in July 2005 at the age of 62. http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/obituaries/article/0,1299,DRMN_45_4016772,00.html

Born in Denver, Colorado in 1947, Emanuel Martinez began his career as an artist at the age of thirteen, when he painted his first mural. His art education includes workshops with world renowned artists and sculptors including David A. Siquieros and Francisco Zuniga. At the age of 20, Emanuel did a major work and two other pieces that are now in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C. As a muralist, painter and sculptor he occupies an outstanding status among nationally known artists. Since establishing a studio in 1968, Martinez has received international acclaim and prestigious awards for his design capabilities and high standards of workmanship. He enjoys personalizing compositions for clients and doing public works of art for site-specific environments. His work is lively, timeless, yet conveys a sense of serenity. He has been featured in over 300 newspaper/magazine articles and 37 published books, including a book written on his art career entitled: “Emanuel Martinez: A Retrospective”. http://emanuelmartinez.com/bio/
