So pleased to be part of "Made in Texas", an exhibition that is part of the "Latino Art Now" symposium and events in Houston. This show features Latinx women artists whose careers and production have been associated with Texas. All the works are drawn from The Gilberto and Dolores Cardenas Collection in Austin. Gilberto Cardenas, a professor of Mexican American & Latin American studies at both UT Austin & Notre Dame, has been a major figure in the exhibition, collection & promotion of Chicano & Latinx art for over 30 years. Artists in the show include: Connie Aristmendi, Ana Fuentes, Santa Barraza, Claudia Elisa Zapata, Candace M. Briceno, Suzy Gonzalez, Melanie Cervantes, Paloma Mayorga, Irene Perez & Me-
Below are two of the several works I exhibited at PARK AVE STUDIOS in Savanah as part of a pop-up show organized by Ms. Sharon Norwood. The exhibition's theme was "Hyphenated-Nature" because I paired some of my on-site US made works with my "Hecho Con Cuba" series-.

So pleased to have been part of the early wave of female Texas artists that were invited to work at Flatbed Press in Austin. I used to do a lot of printmaking when I lived in Austin and Director Katherine Brimberry's enthusiasm for all things printed was contagious-Hope to be able to work with her again. Robert Faires of the Austin Chronicle wrote a great article about the show "WOMEN OF FLATBED: A RETROSPECTIVE" which is currently on view at the Elisabet Ney Museum in Austin.
