“My grandfather, Narciso “Chicho” García, worked as a tile setter in Monterrey, Mexico and Harlingen, Texas for most of his life. Two generations later, I work as an artist and art professor. I often feel that my life is completely different from my grandfather’s because of our differences in professions, education, socio-economic statuses, languages, religion, and gender. However, I have found a connection with him through making. Everyday, I use a pencil and ruler to draw and measure just as my grandfather did.
Canton artist Margene May's artwork is instantly recognizable for its lively ethnic patterns and warm earth tones, and from the African American people, usually women, who are the subjects of her portraits.
Eileen Woods and Barbara Vogel create art that references our fragility as human beings and how life can drastically change or end in a single moment. In the exhibition Fragile, Vogel exhibits portraits of friends and relatives who face or have succumbed to life-altering events. Woods’ subject matter is gun violence.
