Mrs. Antonia M. Gonzales was born in 1933 in New Orleans, but presently is a resident of Chalmette, Louisiana. Antonia is of Canary Island descent and speaks both English and Spanish.
Antonia's art form is storytelling. She learned to tell stories as a child listening to the elders in the community where she lived. The only materials needed for this art is a microphone and an audience. Mrs. Gonzales uses her storytelling art on a day to day basis as a tour guide. She has performed at the Isleno Festival and for local schools.
