If one could draw the subtle connections that exist between individuals, especially as artists, we would find those connections reach far beyond where we stand. They emerge from everyone and everywhere, and come together in the most unexpected ways. Five local artisans were invited to join one another for a group exhibition, each of them on their own unique journey, but with some key things in common: they are all women, Latina, spirited and fiercely dedicated to their art.

Each of these remarkable artists is known for creating highly introspective work, yet each with their own distinctive style and sources of inspiration. Through the use of various media, these artists have forged bodies of work that explore the deep connections of the soul – to nature, ourselves and to each other.

Together these artists remind us how we learn, through the creative process, to grow - to bloom - and not forget one’s roots.

Join us for this one-of-a-kind exposé of artwork from these five distinguished artists: Cecilia Valadez, Monika Bokelmann, Sonia Rosa, Julia Da Rocha, and Winnie Purple.
