Consuelo Jimenez Underwood (born 1949) is an American fiber artist, best known for her woven textiles and mixed media installations. She has works in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Renwick Gallery

Early life and education
Born in Sacramento, California, Underwood is the daughter of migrant agricultural workers: a Chicana mother and a Huichol Indian father. Her experiences working alongside her parents in the fields and traversing the U.S.-Mexico border would later strongly influence her artwork with its themes of borders, immigration, and citizenship.
