A mom to two awesome girls, a muralist, portrait artist, wife and West Texas addict.

Cristina had an idea to update a classic game.

Cristina selected 27 of the original 54 icons found on the traditional Mexican Loteria game and replaced them with 27 new, modern-day icons designed by Noriega, herself. This bilingual contemporary version of the game features artistic renditions of the familiar icons the previous generations are accustomed to, along with brand new additions depicted in Spanish on one side and English on the reverse side of each tablet and card.

She recreated the Mexican bingo game a well-known symbol of Mexican heritage for many Mexican Americans as a testament of an acculturated young Latina who has long searched for ways to connect her two heritages through her artistic passion.
