Career

She illustrated a version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in "The original illustrations by John Tenniel have always been some of my favorites,[7]" said Garcia in an interview when asked about the book.

"I have three copies of the book here because I collect children's stories. That's one of my favorite stories because it's actually a real dark story. She falls down the hole and no one is really nice to her at all. Pretty much every character she encounters, they're not really on her side. So re-reading it I realized I could do a little bit darker of an interpretation than the original illustrations." In , her art for the book was shown at The Walt Disney Family Museum, where her work was displayed alongside that of Mary Blair.[8]

On November 2, , Garcia was part of a four-woman show in Los Angeles called "Black Moon" with fellow female artists, Jessicka Addams, Elizabeth McGrath and Marion Peck.[9]
