Art is about representing emotions… so what are the emotions behind my paintings? I get a lot questions about techniques but not often… about the feelings behind!

To me, life is all about cycles: day and night, seasons, personal changes, everything comes and goes… ⁣

Art is nothing but the stories behind, so I would like to share it with you… stay tuned because you’re on it! 

In August 2017, I was walking around in Chicago when I ran into my artist awakening. I had a couple of hours to spare when I bumped into a big art supply store which was the beginning of everything…

Beyond honored and amazed to have our art show featured. We got a photoshoot and the interview early this week. Here's the result! We talked about how the group got together, defined the there and peek of what you will be seen this weekend. Here's part of it:  

This year, that trio — Jennifer Lask, Clara de la Fuente and Teresa Ellis — have teamed up for a multimedia exhibit called “World of Wonders” in this year’s Boneyard Arts Festival, focused on nature’s ability to heal.

“I think the person who comes to this show leaves feeling like ‘I need to spend more time in nature,’” de la Fuente said. “At the end of the day, life is hard as it is, so it’s important to take a minute to reflect on the experience and absorb what we should and let other things go.”

Come to meet the artists:

"Of course not everything went perfect for me, far from it. The first time I got rejected to be part of an art show I took it pretty personally. With the time, I understood..."
