Artist and poet. Born June 13, 1903, in Piedras Negras, Coah., Mexico. Moved to Del Rio, Texas, with her family in 1913 and lived there the rest of her life. Known especially for her intricate ink drawings which she called "filigranas," González Amezcua became a well-known artist late in life, exhibiting her work in galleries and museums in the United States and Mexico.
