Please join me for the unveiling of Pan American Unity, a mural in woodblock! I’ve been working on it since early September in order to have it ready for the Hispanic Cultural Center exhibit, El Voto Feminino. The opening is January 24th, 6-8 pm in the Literary Arts Building (fountain courtyard bldg). SO happy to be part of this exhibit!
Based on the 1940’s mural by Diego Rivera, my woodblock print replaces images of the founding fathers with eleven important contemporary women from across the Americas and two men who have inspired me and my work as a printmaker.
I want to thank Sarah Dewey, Mark Wallis and Ilene Weiss for their assistance during the process of carving and printing each of ten panels on cloth. And thank you to Valerie Martinez and Cassandra Osterloh for their guidance and invitation to include my piece in El Voto Feminino Exhibit at the NHCC!
Contact me if you’d like to support the project…I will have giclee prints of the large piece for sale.
Hope you can join us Jan 24th!
