  My latest exhibition, Raíces (Roots), explores transcending cultural borders. Drawing inspiration from my 2017 experiences in El Salvador, my art becomes a medium to blend my Salvadoran American identity, bridging the dualities within me and engaging with the complexities of the Salvadoran American diaspora.   The Capital City Arts Initiative’s exhibit is in Western Nevada College’s Bristlecone Gallery, 2201 W College Parkway, Carson City. The gallery is open to the public January 22 – April 12, 2024, Monday through Friday, 8am – 7pm. The artist’s reception will take place on Friday, February 23, 5:00 – 6:30pm.
