V. Maldonado, Following Breath — Recent Drawings and Watercolors
Stop by the gallery Wednesday – Saturday from 1-6pm to view the current exhibition: Following Breath – Recent Drawings and Watercolors by V. Maldonado.

About the Exhibit:
“I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. It was my first language before I could speak. I learned how to draw from observation and from my imagination. I learned that I could draw portraits of my abusers and tormentors and that they would stop. That I could draw pictures of my family and friends from memory and always have them with me.
When I first started painting I didn’t know how. I made paintings to teach myself how to paint and I filled my canvas with what drawing had taught me. When I learned how to make painting I became a performance artist. Now I dismantle myself through my paintings to remake myself.” ~ V Maldonado
