A painter with over 30 years’ experience, Karen Rose earned a Bachelor’s degree from the University of California Berkeley and a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York. She made loosely grid-based paintings for 20 years before she moved to North Carolina where she began painting in the NC Botanical Gardens, the Arboretum, and Duke Gardens. Last year she created watercolors of indigenous plants of Mexico and most recently has been making large scale oil paintings of flora, seaweed and coral. She is half Mexican and is inspired by city landscapes and flora around the world. http://karenrose.dunked.com
Luis MacKinney
Luis MacKinney, originally from Mexico City, became interested in painting in 2014 and started with basic techniques like watercolor. He moved on to acrylic, getting his first exhibition in collaboration with other artists at the City of Raleigh Museum. His early works featured figurative images, however he continued to explore abstract art, this being the art that keeps him active and above all immersed in intrapersonal exploration via the feelings expressed through shapes, colors and textures. https://www.facebook.com/l.mackinneyart/
Miriam Ximil
Born in Puebla, Mexico in 1987, Miriam immigrated to New York with her parents the following year. Growing up in Queens played a pivotal role in discovering the world of art. Through her work, she aims to portray indigenous culture and the same time promote the sciences and share “how we as people of color can continue to move forward.” One of the themes of her work is illustrating people of color with super human powers, in order to demonstrate the struggle and resiliency of our community. https://kidximil.wixsite.com/mxart
Natacha Villamia Sochat
Born in New York City and raised in Havana and the Bronx, Natacha is half Cuban and half Puerto Rican. Her heritage, combined with her surrounding environment as a child, helped inform her worldview and her vision of how each of us are connected. As an artist working in various disciplines, she uses her experience of growing up in Caribbean culture to influence her work, from the choice of color and texture to the various themes and messages present within her art. http://www.natacha.net
Nora Hernández
Born and raised in Honduras, Nora’s love for the arts began by the education she received at the Triunfo de la Cruz Institute where she studied poetry and fine arts. Influenced by Don Lorenzo Alvarenga, her desire to paint is to express her passion and love of life, captured on canvas. http://www.sededesuperacionpersonal.com/id113.html
Peter Marín
As an independent artist, Peter has forged a professional path shaped by curating and producing independent exhibitions, expositions in public spaces, nonprofit programming, cultural arts, and programs on abstraction.
