Marisol Ocádiz paints café strangers with coffee
Mexican artist Marisol Ocádiz, who studied art in Querétaro, creates watercolors using coffee pigment. Inspired by music's vibrancy, she began the series over a year ago while overwhelmed by work. In New York, she works inside Starbucks stores, particularly in Tribeca, where she paints patrons reading or working. A Starbucks media employee once organized a private event for her. She previously sold portraits to subjects but now keeps them for a February exhibition in San Miguel de Allende.
