ADORN ME
Curated by Carol Hodes for PoetsArtists

This painting is something of an aside to my "madonna series". She is my own invention-- a deity of the murky, muddy bottom of the river that flows lazily through the valley where I live-- adorned with the creatures she reigns over.

GENESIS
Curated by Yessica Torres for DabArt, Ventura, California
through 31 March
https://www.dabart.me/genesis-2

The U.S. is a country shaped by immigration. Some came on their own accord, others brought here against their will and many fought for centuries to keep their indigenous ways. In some way, every person who currently resides in America has an immigration story of their own, even if they don't know it yet.

For many artists, their own cultural or religious backgrounds have helped define their artwork. For other's it's their physical location or the neighborhood they grew up in that has made a lasting impression. For many, their origins are a question that may not be answered yet. In all instances the genesis of an artist is personal and unique.

GENESIS features artworks that visually explore the stories, struggles and successes of immigration.
