A painting by late San Antonio artist Jesse Treviño will again grace the walls of University Health’s Texas Diabetes Institute after being removed for restoration and reframing. Trevino’s La Curandera, which translates to “The Healer” in English, will be unveiled this Wednesday at the West Side medical facility. The artwork greeted numerous TDI patients in the 20 years it served as a focal point in the lobby. Like many of Treviño’s works, the piece offers a slice-of-life look at San Antonio culture — in this case a scene from a botanica, or traditional Mexican herbal medicine store.
