A work of 3 paintings, Two of them belonging to the collection Taste and Contrast; and the third one, a figurative work inspired by an inevitable moment during the Artist life.

Please Join me for my most important event as an artist, let me share with you my work and celebrate the arts with a toast!
This project is funded in part by The City of Houston, Through Houston Art Alliance.

I will talk about the experience of creating for the first time a large-scale work, the processes, and the meaning of the work as well as the challenge.
The purpose of this project is to share my work with the community, the neighborhood, the city, the world, I hope it inspires others to keep dreams alive and to make them real! It is my contribution to the arts today, and a great opportunity to grow as an artist confronting new challenges that will help me move forward.

It is a honor for me as an artist with an independent studio to be one of the few recipients of the prestigious Support for Artist and Creative Individuals grant from the City of Houston .
The exhibition will be at my studio, a gem from the 1940’s located in the historic Thirdward, Houston, TX.

Círculo de lectura / Aura, Carlos Fuentes. @ Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston
Feb 15 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Círculo de lectura activa.

La lectura nos permite ver el mundo de una manera distinta, encontrar ese pedazo en el universo que nos hace falta. Los libros nos muestran que se puede encontrar el amor en un sonido o en una flor.

El círculo está centrado en la lectura y análisis de textos de ficción en español. El ejercicio del círculo literario pretende brindar nociones prácticas que permitan el acercamiento crítico a géneros literarios en español.

El ejercicio de leer nos pertenece a todos, hayamos o no estudiado formalmente.

Continuamos en febrero con nuestra reunión del círculo de lectura activa con el libro “Aura” de Carlos Fuentes, el sábado 15 de febrero, estaremos charlando y compartiendo apreciaciones sobre este libro.

Recuerda llevar tu vaso, tu bebida preferida y algo de comer para compartir con el grupo.
