my husband’s grandmother, who recently passed away. Her name was Cora Ann Ray. She and her family had a significant impact on my life, long before I was born. They were the kind of people who shared life with their neighbors and looked out for others in their Archer City, TX, community, including my grandmother and my father. In college, I met and married her grandson. Our families, we discovered, had known each other for over 50 years. At some point, I began to associate Cora Ann with this teapot that I would always see at her house. It sat in her white china cabinet, and it had belonged to her mother. So, whenever I look at this teapot, it reminds me to appreciate simple things and how much difference can be made over a pot of tea - by loving your neighbor and being a friend. 16"x16" acrylic painting on canvas.

Each object inside of the nest in the center represents one of my loved ones. All of these artifacts are imbued with memories of a specific time in my life, having been personally collected throughout many years. This piece also examines my relationship to what most people would consider trash, and the security it brings me. "Birdhouse of My Soul" exhibits a positive change in my evolution as an artist, in both theme and medium, by exploring the possibilities of creating sculptures. 6.5" tall, 6" wide and 2" deep, mixed media, NFS (Interested parties can email 9thstreetstudioswf@gmail.com about availability) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597968334051-H4U6SIY0G6V1X74X4J2F/charlie+Sue+Roberts+2.jpg Memento 2020 - "Hold Them Close" Charlie Sue Roberts (Second Place Winner) "Hold Them Close" is a house-shaped sculpture inspired by the current relationship I have with my loved ones, and the experiences we share.

Saint Magnus of Füssen and Saint Dwyn are both transparent watercolor paintings. Saint Magnus of Füssen illustrates that he is the patron saint you appeal to if your home is infested with mice, rats, insects, etc. The creatures in the painting are plastic toy pieces from an old game called, “Cootie”. Saint Dwyn is the patron of sick animals. The paintings are still lives that are constructed inside of a small, wooden, puppet theatre. The interiors and facades are draped and wrapped with shiny, reflective fabrics, and bright colored subjects populate the environments. The paintings are whimsical, colorful, and amusing.

The kind with stickers and a cheesy title like, Serious Love Songs Vol. 5. Achieving the perfect mix took work. Listening to the radio waiting for that perfect song so that I could hit record at the perfect moment felt important. If I could collect the most magical songs then he would know how much I loved him. I was cleaning out a drawer recently and I found a tape that said, “To Ginger, Merry Christmas 1996. I love you!” It warmed my heart and made me a little embarrassed that we were so ridiculous. He doesn’t make me mix tapes any more. That’s not the true measure of love like it once was. Now showing love is emptying the dishwasher or taking our kid to practice. 11” x 14” Watercolor.

I began to think of how to make an image that was beautiful but also contained decay. Over the course of remedies, he was given a pacemaker and various blood thinners for his condition, only to slow the wear and further damage. While not a true representation of his device, I became interested in the interactions taking place between the painted elements of the heart, cracks, and wires.

While pulled directly from earthquake mapping, this graph visually echoes other ways to track health or financial status of individuals suggested as a downward movement from left to right. The idea of the computer and mouse intrigues me as an object I find myself using an as extension of my own hand, but also as a means to turn unseen abstract data into numbers and then into a visual language. This "data" is represented through flatter forms in the work, while the object that presents this data, the mouse, is painted in more naturalistic size, light, and volume. 24 x 24 in, oil on panel, $ 700 (Interested parties can email 9thstreetstudioswf@gmail.com about availability) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597968479586-RC0VOEEN33Q2E079U24N/Jesse+Baggett+1.jpg Memento 2020 - "Lunch with Jim" Jesse Baggett I created this portrait plate after having had lunch with my friend Jim.

The work is a re-imagining of a sentimental memory spent with a person, but the objects remembered from that memory are in the foreground, while the image of the person's face is subjugated into the background and partially erased. The objects serve as a means of triggering a recollection of the memory spent with a particular person, yet the visual memory of the person itself remains suspended between the tangible and intangible. Perhaps it means the person is too dynamic or important to the viewer to be encapsulated in a still, objectified image. Perhaps it means the physical objects have overridden the real importance of the memory. Either way, the objects serve as a means of triggering a recollection of memory and allowing the viewer to reflect on this subjective, personal sentiment of someone else's past.

I've decided to translate the inscription for this one. While taking pictures at the train tracks I looked down to see the broken device. I begin to wonder what the moments were like when this device reached this destination. Almost as if to wish to share the other person's eyes. And in that moment I have what Zen calls a Satōri. A moment of pure and sometimes frightening awareness. It was a very moving and existential moment. A sense of yūgen came over me to understand that this moment is fleeting; to try and grasp the very moment of occurrence. But, the beauty lies in the transcendent motion of my current place and time. Another perspective shared for an item. I understood all things contain that same nature, and that is how I was connected. 3x5 notecard/ Ballpoint pen SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597968539350-Z1353FJY5RX0OWIBL1F4/Kaisaamroi+Aoi+Kiri+2.jpg Memento 2020 - ルーカす "the cactus” Kai Kōhī zenji A co-worker became a close friend after an out of town work event. I am a bit of a hermit but on a whim of spontaneity I decided to accept an invitation to commute and hang out with Lukas. We spoke alot and the topic of Ramen came about. After the event, we found a Ramen shop where I was able to share vivid memories of my pops Kai Senpai and the bowls of Ramen he would make me. It was freeing in a way I can't grasp other than the picture I made of this cactus. It is like a flashbulb memory to me. Not only was I able to share I was able to learn. 3x5 notecard/ Ballpoint pen $100 (Interested parties can email 9thstreetstudioswf@gmail.com about availability) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597972857283-9PVRFEAK3N89LIG5WPS5/Kristine+Thueson+%281%29.png Memento 2020 - "Overlook" Kristine Thueson This image was constructed around an old photo of my grandmother which I found in a drawer. My grandfather was an avid hobby photographer but a terrible record keeper, so we have literally thousands of these random, unexplained photos lying around.

We were swayed by the evolution of Rock n Roll music and new styles of dancing.

The Bible has been written, rewritten and altered in many ways by the hand of man. Chapters have been left out or added and words have been changed depending on the publisher. For this piece I used pages of an older Catholic version of a Bible. Highlighted verses deal with issues like racism, hatred, judgment and how to treat others. I tried to leave as much text visible as possible, in an attempt to tell the broader story of the featured verse. The message is: It is time to make a choice. The butterflies represent which choice one will make, the red pill or the blue pill. The orbs can be seen as the struggles of the past, present and future. 15 x 22, Mixed media, Bible pages and acrylic on panel. $150 (Interested parties can email 9thstreetstudioswf@gmail.com about availability) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597972941361-Q2DW6UI7C3JQ92IC6H2H/Ramona+Stegal+1.jpg Memento 2020 - "Go with Caution" Ramona Stegal This panel continues our narrative of social change. I changed the color of my butterflies. One is green with yellow dots, meaning it is time to change yet we must do it with caution. The other is yellow with red dots, warning us that change has to be made by not reliving our past, but not forgetting the pain of our history. Together, the four butterflies create another circle. Circle of life, of never ending options and choices, always growing and changing, the struggle to be a better person in a world full of hate and anger. 15 x 22 Mixed media, Bible pages and acrylic on panel $150 (Interested parties can email 9thstreetstudioswf@gmail.com about availability) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597972971833-L63EM1YPGK531R9TX8SN/Robert+Barrow.jpeg Memento 2020 - "Gang-Gang" Bob Barrow (Honorable Mention) In the fifties, my grandfather, “Gang-Gang,” had a Magnolia filling station. With this station an ice house was attached from which every weekday morning workers would stop by to fill their water coolers with ice and water. In the late fifties, he quit selling gas but kept the station as kind of a forerunner to a convenience store. He sold ice, soda pop, candy, bread, chocolate milk, etc., plus watermelons when in season. He had picnic tables, and on weekend nights, they would be full of people eating sliced watermelon served on salmon-colored metal trays. This tray brings back memories of working on Saturday nights, listening to station KSYD on the radio. As guests left, we threw rinds into metal trash cans. All this sweetness brought bees and wasps out the next day. My brother and I fought off many a stinging monster with our rolled-up newspapers. 16”x20” Mixed Media. $150 (Interested parties can email 9thstreetstudioswf@gmail.com about availability) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597973004287-8VJYNPK2OP76IJX4QYFU/Rodney+D+Butler.jpg Memento 2020 - "Unveil" Rodney Butler Reminiscent of the time spent in Alabama at Tuskegee University Oil on canvas board, 16x20, $350 (Interested parties can email 9thstreetstudioswf@gmail.com about availability) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597973007184-CA3ZF6JUX1AAK4CABZXE/Rose+Marie+Mercado.jpg Memento 2020 - "Year of Magical Thinking" Rose Marie Mercado In studio. Sitting. Listening. Seeing. Welcoming refreshed eyesight after cataract surgery to explore, explain, expose. Even on drive from casa to studio, familiar streets and building appeared as images in retrospect. Time takes. Time gives. Feels like all around me is that younger self. She who navigated uncharted circumstances. Who be that woman now, tempered By the aging of life’s continuous uncertainties. The Year of Magical Thinking is Joan Didion’s memoir about blindsided by death. This memento assemblage records my vicarious experience of surrounding episodes. Artist friend: Join me, plein air workshop, Isle of Palms, favorite family getaway. Two weeks later: artist friend’s brother died, shockingly unexpected. Oddly, I was finishing Didion’s memoir. We go paint, she to cherish her memories there of him. Three months later: spontaneous tickets, memoir’s theatrical version. Vanessa Redgrave’s austere eloquence gives sharp life to variety of moods.

I had been a fan for a few years, but after seeing their movie "HELP!" I was super smitten. To my parents unhappiness I played this record non-stop. My dad actually bought me a second 45 because he knew I was wearing out the first. I feel fortunate to have been a teen during the Beatlemania era. It shaped my love of music, the way I dressed, and how I danced. It was the happiest of times, when I was 16.

These boots were present at one of the breweries in Dallas, TX. They are a reminder of the work put into the beers we drink on these trips. I think of these boots often as they remind me of these moments where we set off on an adventure and connect with strangers where we share our passions. A love of photography and a love of beer.

This moment! We connected. During the Me Too Movement, I connected with all these stories of women sharing their pasts, their moments where they realized "ME TOO". I lost my virginity to rape when I was 15. This photograph reflects all of this time for me and many others. It shows a kind of "F you" to those who were and are offenders. We are more than what happened to us. It shows that we are a part of a system we never wanted to be a part of, a trauma we never wanted to live. We are young. We proudly move forward. We can tell our stories and not be ashamed. It is not our fault, even if we didn't scream loud enough, even if no one believed. We are strong. We are women who will no longer feel afraid. 33" x 23" $125 (Interested parties can email 9thstreetstudioswf@gmail.com about availability) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597973211675-6AW47P3Z2GDATHI6TVAA/Sandi+Gant+1.jpg Memento 2020 - "Contemplation" Sandi Gant Painting represents a brief time where I experienced some very strong sadness due to a life change. 16x20 Oil on canvas $520 (Interested parties can email 9thstreetstudioswf@gmail.com about availability) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597973251264-WK0C1P4XLGE75OH3WX9Z/Sandi+Gant+2.jpg Memento 2020 - "Beach Day" Sandi Gant Represents peaceful day on the west coast a place that my daughter and I frequent. 16x20 Oil on Canvas $520 (Interested parties can email 9thstreetstudioswf@gmail.com about availability) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597973518409-CY4MB80AL3WVIMYRAS3P/Sharon+Gibson+1.jpg Memento 2020 - "Tarnished" Sharon Gibson-Bly Tarnished, based on a Rosalba Carriera portrait, is concerned about the topics of beauty, aging, sexual desire, and the value of a woman. Carriera drew this young woman, whom would be desired for her beauty, which would fade rapidly. Carriera herself, in French and art historical texts, were judged for her own lack of beauty but excused by her hard work and talent. The egg, a symbol for Philosopher's Stone or life, is unfertilized and thrown onto the portrait to vandalize the praise of male desire. For many women, we have been judged FIRST for our appearance and availability and only our hard work is considered SECOND, or even then, our hard work and experience could be considered dangerous. 9"x12" Oil on Panel. $600 (Interested parties can email 9thstreetstudioswf@gmail.com about availability) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597973534386-YK1DDB55Y0H6HNN8GJ4Q/Sharon+Gibson+2.jpg Memento 2020 - "Sweetness Fades" Sharon Gibson-Bly Sweetness Fades is based on a Goya portrait of a woman that is on the cusp of losing youth. In present day, women are still considered less valuable as they gain age and experience and for many of us, we struggle with a certain bitterness in our lives. The male gaze and desire are still factors in how we are viewed including for our careers and jobs. 8" x 10", Oil on Panel, $900 (Interested parties can email 9thstreetstudioswf@gmail.com about availability) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597973676286-8MJJTG9DKX377DVHGOWW/Sherry+Land-Hicks.jpg Memento 2020 - "1252 State Highway 222-Self Portrait" Sherry Land-Hicks The pieces of metal this sculpture contains are mementos from my 100+yr. old family farm. Collected over the past eight years from plows and machinery used by my grandpa & great grandpa, they are my loving tribute to their hard work and determination in working this land. Three years ago I was disabled in a car accident and had to reinvent myself. This sculpture represents my growth both spiritually and physically since that time. My connection to these objects and the land from which they came defines my very being. My soul lives here. 10 3/4"L x 6 1/4"W x 16"H, mixed media $500 (Interested parties can email 9thstreetstudioswf@gmail.com about availability) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597973806183-87BIPNZV5C7BK7MDYLAE/Simon+Welch.jpg Memento 2020 - "In Utero Momento" Simon Welch Though many of us cling to physical items, in my mind the most meaningful mementos are those that arise from conception. In the case of my mother, I was told several times as a child that I was a "miracle baby." Not only was I the youngest child by 6 years, but also the only boy for which she was willing to try "one more time." My mother also expressed that she almost miscarried several times while pregnant with me. On the other side of the coin, I was the last vestige or "memento" of a failing marriage. My response to this gloomy tale is inappropriate humor. Hence, why I created a self-portrait through the cycle of conception in a magical uterus. 16x20 Digital Print. $150 (Interested parties can email 9thstreetstudioswf@gmail.com about availability) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1597973704311-VC9HLC834MCSXG48D9BG/Stacy+Tompkins.jpg Memento 2020 - "Your Blood in My Veins" Stacy Tompkins "Your Blood in My Veins" is a fiber arts Memento Mori for my mother. My mother stopped breathing; she lay in a coma for weeks as we looked for signs of brain activity, for some hope of recovery. In this agonizing time, I had double knee surgery for a pre-existing condition. The piece is composed the gauze that covered my wounds. I sat at her bedside, the gauze soaking up my own life's essence as Mom's trickled away. My sister and I eventually had to sign to unplug our mother from all the machines. We watched, silently, as her skin turned from reddish to pale yellow and her hypoxic blood turned cold. 44" x 16" gauze and the artist's blood.

You can write it down. You can tell stories at parties for years. You can record it but nothing gets back to that original feeling. Recording a bootleg was the closest you could get to recreating that moment. It wasn't the perfect sound. The recording, an unreliable narrator, but a bootleg is the closest thing we can get to keeping our hazy memories. Mixed Media.

An alumni of Midwestern state University, he obtained his BFA with a major emphasis in sculpture and a minor emphasis in ceramics. Ferdine also considers himself to be a sketch artist as he began his art career doing graphite and charcoal portraits. Since graduating MSU he has become an active member in the art community here in Wichita Falls through work with the Art Alliance.

Her parents fled to the U.S. in order to escape The Salvadoran Civil War in 1990. Coming from a family that only knew violence and silence, Jazmin developed anxiety at a young age. As she grew, the abuse and bullies she encountered enabled her from being able to communicate properly. After taking art classes at Midwestern State University, she found a form of being able to express herself and ultimately, find her voice. She began to develop her style with the inspiration of Egyptian art and her spiritual journey using clay works and oil paintings. After graduating from MSU, Jazmin began her healing and self-understanding journey by painting her meditation visuals. By sharing her stories within the paintings, she is hoping to connect with those still fighting in darkness and provide a ray of light. Jazmin developed her painting style with the inspiration of texture build up from clay works. Sculpting into her paintings using clay tools, empowers her with the thought of being able to sculpt her mind and emotions. She received this empowering feeling from researching Egyptian art and finding Khnum, the ram deity who is known as the creator of children’s souls on its pottery wheel. She connected her need of helping people with this deity and realized that she can help sculpt the mind of others by sharing her stories with paintings.

He is a mixed-media artist working primarily with gouache, monotypes, screen-prints, and drawing media. He derives inspiration from hisAfrican heritage and the culture of Antigua and Barbuda, where his passion for visual arts first developed. In 2014, he exhibited his group show collection “Antiguan Folklore & Supernatural Beings at the Art” at the Ridge Gallery in Bolans, Antigua. Wanting to advance his artistic skills and experience a culture different from his own, he moved to the United States in 2016 to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas where he graduated in December 2020. He exhibited artwork in the highly successful “Rising Eyes of Texas 2020” annual juried exhibition hosted by the Rockport Center for the Arts in Rockport, Texas. His work is interested in water as a subject because of its influence in shaping Caribbean culture due to its proximity, the many resources it provides, and the stereotypes associated with black people. Using water imagery he composes narratives that examines the experience of the African diaspora.

I medium of choice is screen printing and relief prints. In my work I focus on the idea of escapism and how it affects our lives. Everyone has their own means of escape no matter what background they come from. This allows my work to relate to anyone. I try to merge my love of cartoons, culture, and the need to share my message. Ultimately, I want my audience to reflect on themselves and how their actions and indulgences affect their lives. I want my audience to consider their own types of escapes on a physical, social, mental and philosophical level.

“Buttercup Fields” 35" x 33.5" sticks, wire, acrylic paints $475 ¡Buttercup, un gato atigrado amarillo, fue mi primer mejor amigo! Le puse el nombre de los hermosos campos de ranúnculos coloridos alrededor de mi casa cada primavera. Cuando era niña, pasaba horas haciendo pasteles de barro, jugando en los pastizales cubiertos de hierba detrás de mi casa y contándole a Buttercup, mi gato, todos mis secretos más profundos. La vi dar a luz varias camadas de gatitos y caminé muchas millas para encontrarme con ella en la belleza del aire libre. Caminamos juntas por el camino de la vida durante muchos años. Esta obra de arte representa los altibajos, y caminar con Buttercup en el campo de la vida. Que la maravilla y la belleza de la naturaleza me recuerden buscar la belleza dondequiera que camine, por más simple que sea. ¡Busca siempre los ranúnculos que brillan en los campos!

Blue era el orgullo de mi madre y mi padre, ya que fue la última vaca del rebaño de mi abuelo, y que además vivió más de veinte años después de su muerte. Mi abuelo la había criado como una ternera mansa y ella se convirtió en la vaca líder, ya que mis padres cuidaban de las mismas vacas y tierras que mi abuelo compró y trabajó como un verdadero vaquero americano. Ella era una madre saludable y crió muchos terneros que todavía son parte de la manada. A mis gemelas les encantaba viajar en la parte trasera de la camioneta y alimentar con la mano sus cubos de ganado en sus viajes al pastizal con mis padres. ¡Una parte de mi abuelo vive a través de la tierra y el ganado que tanto amaba!

Pero, ¿de qué otra manera elegir un elenco sin saber primero a quién se le puede enseñar? Allí estaba yo con un nuevo par de zapatos de tap, sin tener idea de lo que estaba haciendo. Así que me paré en la parte de atrás ... mirando. Y luego, hacia el frente de la fila en la que estaba, noté a la linda niña de cabello rizado que podía cantar como un ángel y también bailar. ¡¡BAILA!! Mi pretexto para acercarme: "Estoy teniendo problemas, ¿puedes mostrarme cómo dar un paso, cambio, paso?" Y luego sellé el trato en San Valentín con algunos tulipanes de un admirador anónimo. Cuatro meses después nos casamos en el escenario del Backdoor Theatre, y me sacaron de los bastidores (por eso estamos mirando la parte de atrás del cuadro) y me pusieron en el escenario como coprotagonista en la obra de nuestra vida venidera.

Luego vino la confusión de 1968 y 1969. La inocencia se hizo añicos y los cuentos de hadas se convirtieron en sueños. En esta pieza, el castillo del libro de cuentos en el fondo está ligeramente brumoso y descolorido. En primer plano hay imágenes sepia que recuerdan los titulares de finales de la década de 1960: ** la muerte de Martin Luther King y Bobby Kennedy** el ascenso de Richard Nixon ** los horrores de la guerra de Vietnam ** la sangrienta Convención Nacional Demócrata en Chicago * * la tragedia de Kent State. La pieza es una caja de arcilla cerrada con un agujero en la parte posterior para colgar. El castillo está impreso en arcilla mediante técnica de fotolitografía. Las imágenes sepia son calcas pegadas a la arcilla y luego montadas en resortes para que se eleven del fondo.

Internamente, el trauma infantil tiene importantes implicaciones en la función y el desarrollo del cerebro. Usar registros de vida que reflejen mis propios relatos reales de abuso infantil a una edad temprana permite al espectador explorar el peso y capturar las realidades del trauma. Estoy intentando ayudar al espectador a comprender que el trauma crea neurotoxicidad en el cerebro cuando el hipotálamo no regula los niveles altos de una hormona llamada cortisol (la hormona del estrés), que afecta los circuitos cerebrales en cada faceta y, a veces, tiene efectos adversos a largo plazo en la salud física externa, el comportamiento y el bienestar mental del individuo.

Lo describiría como un parásito difícil de combatir, ya que mi familia ha peleado muchos combates con él. En esta pieza, estoy representando el arte y la realidad. Este es un documento de mis registros de nacimiento, mientras que en la herida mi madre visitó la sala de emergencias, probablemente debido a problemas respiratorios. El expediente refleja que su nivel de etanol (ETHOL o contenido de alcohol) era de 354 mg / dL. Los contenidos de ETHOL entre 300 y 400 mg / dL se consideran niveles fatales debido a una posible depresión respiratoria: respiración lenta e ineficaz que puede provocar la muerte o el coma. El dibujo muestra una emoción cruda de cómo veía la adicción a una edad temprana, como una simple cuestión de elección. Sin embargo, la adicción es más compleja que la simple toma de decisiones, pero afecta al cuerpo y al cerebro, al igual que el trauma afecta al niño que experimenta los efectos de las adicciones familiares. Mi esperanza con esta pieza es educar al espectador en cuanto a que la adicción no es simplista por naturaleza, sino que a menudo viene con estigmas que muchas veces son mal entendidos por la sociedad y las personas afectadas por la adicción.

Un mapa fragmentado descansa debajo, con cada límite registrando varias alturas basadas en el acceso cuantificable a estos derechos. Las mesetas más bajas son más fáciles de "escalar" en comparación con las porciones evaluadas más altas. Esto es por diseño, no por casualidad. Similar a esta idea tan compleja, encontré atractiva la idea de abrir y cerrar armarios. No podemos tocar los derechos humanos, pero si pudiéramos, ¿nos imaginamos que se puede acceder fácilmente a ellos, que siempre están abiertos o necesitamos pedir permiso para obtener la llave correcta para la cerradura correcta? Mi propia práctica se ve desafiada en este proceso, ya que reproduzco elementos gráficos, objetos cotidianos y sus sombras, todo en pintura al óleo.

Una vez que se realiza una compra, la tarjeta continúa exigiendo que el propietario pague más y durante un período de tiempo mucho más largo. Las tasas de interés cambian mientras que el crédito disponible nos invita a seguir comprando. Aunque contiene valor, todo es abstracto, solo se conoce al llamar o en línea para ver su funcionamiento interno real. Aun con todo esto, nunca las estudié realmente como un objeto; simplemente se quedaban en mi bolsillo y rara vez las reconocía. En mi pintura, me interesa descubrir el matiz visual de la tarjeta y, de alguna manera, ganar poder a través de una observación cuidadosa. Irónicamente, el cartón sin valor de abajo requiere la misma cantidad de trabajo y ojo entrenado para lograr un acabado completo. De esta manera, me intriga que algo con tal valor sea, en algún nivel, igual a un objeto que no tiene valor.

Johnson, “Reflection” 22.5” x 30” Watercolor painting $350 Reflección es una pintura de acuarela que representa las emociones que sentí hasta el nacimiento de mi primogénito. Reflexionando sobre mis pensamientos, ambiciones y sueños de convertirme en la mejor versión de mí misma por el bien del niño que iba a tener. En mi mano sostengo un espejo de forma poco perfecta que simboliza encontrar y buscar dentro de mí quién era realmente como persona, con el fin de luchar por ser una gran madre para mi hijo por nacer. Como joven estudiante universitaria, a la edad de 23 años en mi último semestre de universidad, estaba atrapada en un lugar difícil sin saber a dónde me llevaría mi camino como una madre negra soltera a punto de criar a un niño por su cuenta con tantas incertidumbres. Tenía que darme cuenta de que haría todo lo posible a pesar de las imperfecciones de mi vida, como mis errores, experiencias desagradables, tribulaciones y desafíos que enfrentaría a diario. Esta pintura representa el recuerdo de las emociones como una madre joven, pero también el renacimiento de la fuerza que no sabía que tenía incrustada profundamente dentro de mí esperando brillar y florecer bellamente en un lugar oscuro.

Las primeras cinco semanas tuve puertos intravenosos en ambos brazos y soportes intravenosos con seis o más bolsas colgando de los ganchos. A menudo, las enfermeras tenían problemas para encontrar espacio para colgar las bolsas intravenosas. Medí mi progreso por el número decreciente de bolsas en el soporte intravenoso. Finalmente, me quedé con una sola bola de vacío intravenosa, que me libró del soporte. Esta tecnología me permitió permanecer en mi casa durante el Día de Acción de Gracias. Aprendí a conectar la vía intravenosa yo mismo durante la última ronda antes de graduarme con la medicación oral. Los componentes de esta pieza son las tapas de varios medicamentos intravenosos que se utilizan en los hospitales.

Con cada paso decayeron, junto con mis nociones preconcebidas de lo que significaba ser un ser humano / estadounidense.

Desde que tenía unos seis años, me ha fascinado el concepto de la muerte. He imaginado a todos los que amo muriendo e incluso el proceso de mi muerte o suicidio de múltiples maneras diferentes. No sé si encontraría esta obsesión "pacífica" o "feliz", pero ahora este concepto de la muerte, uno del que estaba tan asustada a los seis años, ahora es como una manta de seguridad. No me siento "feliz", pero me asusta menos la vida sabiendo que algún día moriré y regresaré a la Tierra. Este es el recuerdo de la tranquilidad en una parte insegura e impredecible de mi infancia y ahora, mi vida adulta: la muerte. Un final. Una dulce rendición a cosas mejores.

Estaba asustada, paranoica y me sentía perdida. Esta fue una captura de pantalla de la noche en que comencé mi recuperación de la esquizofrenia y comencé a crear una vida más saludable y estable para mí. Este fue un punto de inflexión para que me diera cuenta de que necesitaba más ayuda.

Deseando la cálida sensación de un mundo más seguro y protegido. El fondo abstracto refleja el caos arremolinado, casi como si la civilización se estuviera yendo por un desagüe. No había vacuna, la gente estaba muriendo en cifras récord. Otros estaban asaltando la Casa Blanca, creyendo una gran mentira. Se derramó más sangre.

Raúl nunca fue una persona materialista, así que quería crear un recuerdo de todo lo que él representó y disfrutó en la vida. Disfrutaba de la sencillez de la pesca y la naturaleza; desprendido de todos y de todo. Realmente se preocupaba del mundo y amaba todo lo que lo rodeaba. Raúl es mi ángel de la guarda y eso es lo que quería mostrar en esta obra. Una combinación de todo lo que le vi en sus 23 años en esta tierra.

Raúl nunca fue una persona materialista, así que quería crear un recuerdo de todo lo que él representó y disfrutó en la vida. Disfrutaba de la sencillez de la pesca y la naturaleza; desprendido de todos y de todo. Realmente se preocupaba del mundo y amaba todo lo que lo rodeaba. Raúl es mi ángel de la guarda y eso es lo que quería mostrar en esta obra. Una combinación de todo lo que le vi en sus 23 años en esta tierra. Él siempre decía: "¡No te rindas nunca, no importa lo difícil que se ponga la vida!" Pienso en esas palabras cada vez que me siento desanimada o perdida en mí misma, sé que mi hermano mayor me está cuidando.

La mayoría me trae buenos recuerdos y también algunos tristes. Simplemente se sientan allí esperando revelar los placeres que nos dieron en algún momento de nuestras vidas, de lo contrario, ¿por qué todavía los íbamos a tener? Uno de mis objetos favoritos es mi vieja caja sorpresa. Jack [el muñeco] es siempre predecible, repitiendo su esperado sobresalto. Siempre aparece cuando giras la manivela, luego escuchas esa melodía familiar (puedo escucharla ahora) y luego ese final familiar, "Pop Goes the Weasel". Ahí está el viejo Jack justo en el momento adecuado. Se sienta en mi estudio, en silencio, siempre mirándome como si dijera: “¿Puedes sacarme de esta caja? Creo que es la hora del recreo". Solo me río de la idea, sin sobresaltarme en absoluto.

Me permitió sumergirme en un mundo de aventuras sin tener que salir de casa. Fueron mis vacaciones en numerosos parques y maravillas naturales y fue mi herramienta educativa para aprender sobre muchos países y su relevancia histórica a lo largo del tiempo. Mi View-Master también me proporcionó mucho entretenimiento durante esos tediosos y aburridos días de verano cuando no había nada más que hacer que salir a jugar. Era mi "sistema de visualización de imágenes en estéreo 3D". Con paquetes de mis "Looney Tunes" favoritos, estaba a solo un clic de mi favorito de todos los tiempos, Wiley E Coyote vs The Roadrunner, una alegoría de depredador vs presa. Con mis paquetes en la mano, podría ver episodio tras episodio, siempre preguntándome si Wiley lo atrapaba hoy; probablemente no… ¡¡Bip… ..Bip !!

Todos mis libros, baratijas, colecciones y pinturas han cambiado de lugar; la casa se vende. La habitación en la que pasé de la adolescencia a la edad adulta pronto pertenecerá a otra persona. En un intento por agarrarme a la comodidad de la habitación de mi infancia, pinté esta obra. Cada objeto de la composición es algo que aprecio y me siento profundamente sentimental. Estos son los tesoros que parecían extraños cuando no estaban en su sitio correcto en mi habitación. Mientras pintaba cada artículo, los recuerdos me inundaban. La pintura ahora está sobre mi cama en la nueva casa de mis padres. Este último año ha consistido en muchos cambios e incertidumbre; sin embargo, mi amor por agarrarme a los objetos con valor sentimental y la nostalgia que esta obra evoca en mí es constante. audio recording https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1631846917464-688945GGXVQZTMYKTISR/Lauren+Berend+Deges+_The+Keeper+of+Memories_.jpg 2021 MEMENTO Gallery (Spanish) - Lauren Berend Deges, “The Keeper of the Memories” 24” x 24” oil paint on canvas NFS Esta obra se centra en mi amor por capturar los recuerdos y el miedo a perderlos. La pulsera que está colocada sobre el álbum de fotos simboliza el poder devastador que tiene el Alzheimer en mi abuela. Ella siempre ha tenido empeño en mantener los recuerdos, asegurándose de poder retroceder en el tiempo para recordar los momentos que pasamos juntos. Es desgarrador saber que los preciados recuerdos que ahora son solo un destello en la mente de la abuela, algún día existirán solo si se documentan previamente. En mi mano, pintada con un poco menos de detalle para representar su fallecimiento, llevo los anillos de mi Mamaw [mi abuelita]. Su cuidado por preservar la historia familiar y los tesoros que dejó, ha servido como una hermosa conexión a ella. Mamaw vive en cada fotografía, baratija y recuerdo que puedo conservar. Mi mano se extiende para abrir el álbum. Ahora soy yo la guardiana de los recuerdos. ¿Cuándo estaré yo también agarrándome a los momentos, al borde de perderme para siempre? audio recording https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1631846974805-AVLZX12WERWETHJ4LRMR/Lynn+Thorne+_Flying_.jpg 2021 MEMENTO Gallery (Spanish) - Lynn Thorne, “Flying” 11” x 14” (estimate) acrylic on canvas $400 El aborto natural espontáneo no fue inesperado, pero eso no hizo que doliera menos. En el poco tiempo que pasamos juntos, escuché el latido del corazón: conectarse de la manera significativa que se le otorga a una madre mientras nutre la vida que crece dentro de ella. Los hallazgos médicos mostraron una anomalía cromosómica. Pero mi primera hija, que nunca llegó a respirar, no era un expediente médico en el cajón de un médico. Era una niña. Mi niña. “Flying” ["Volar"] es mi homenaje a mi hija no nacida, cuyo rostro nunca vi. Ella nunca experimentó los primeros pasos ni corrió en un patio de recreo. Ella nunca persiguió una mariposa ni se maravilló de las luciérnagas. Ella nunca puso un pie en la Tierra, pero vive para siempre en el cielo, y en mi mente, como una niña feliz y despreocupada. MI niña.

Mi medio elegido fue el arte giro. Me perdía en mi propio mundo, haciendo un desastre en la mesa de la cocina, trabajando con mi arte giro. Una vez que había creado una variedad de obras, elegía las mejores, ponía mi mejor firma de niña en ellas y las colocaba en mi pequeño carro rojo. El siguiente sábado soleado, agarraba el carro e iba de puerta en puerta dando a todos mis vecinos el privilegio de convertirse en coleccionistas de estas obras, por el muy bajo precio de 25 a 50 centavos por cuadro. Con la ayuda de una plataforma giratoria de ensaladas, una vez más pude perderme creando estas obras de arte giro. Sin embargo, en lugar de un pequeño carro rojo, he montado las obras en un segmento de madera recuperada.

Cuando quité estas dos baldosas de las otras 50 piezas que había creado, fui transportado inmediatamente atrás en el tiempo a la casa de mi abuela. Ella vivía en el campo y yo pasé muchos veranos allí cuando era niña. Los colores de la primera baldosa traen recuerdos de su jardín y de cómo pasaba horas arrancando judías verdes y preparando otras verduras para nuestras cenas. Las imágenes de la segunda baldosa me recuerdan a las puestas de sol que veíamos mientras el sol se ponía debajo de los tallos de maíz en el campo detrás de su casa. Estos recuerdos se han montado en un trozo de madera recuperada, que podría haber tenido una vida anterior como parte de un granero.

El trabajo a la sombra hace que el individuo recuerde aspectos del yo que se le enseñó a evitar o que se consideraron "malos" según las normas sociales. Para que uno pueda sanar las partes traumatizadas del espíritu, deben integrar la totalidad del "yo".

Tenía muchas ganas de ver los sitios de migración de las mariposas monarca y las amapolas de color naranja brillante que supuestamente crecían en todas partes. Mi hijo de cuatro años estaba emocionado por recolectar conchas marinas ya que íbamos a vivir cerca de una playa. Las amapolas y las monarcas no defraudaron, pero lamentablemente nuestra zona de playa tenía agua de mar muy fría y, por lo tanto, muy pocas conchas marinas. No queriendo ver a mi hijo decepcionado, comencé a comprar conchas marinas en una tienda de artesanías cercana y a esconderlas furtivamente en la arena mientras dábamos nuestros paseos por la playa. ¡Todavía tiene algunas de esas conchas hasta el día de hoy! Nuestros tres años en California fueron increíbles y todavía me encuentro soñando con California: con amapolas, conchas marinas y conchas marinas compradas en tiendas.

A Kevin Bacon le siguieron "Star Wars", "Die Hard" y Guns N’Roses. Un perchero de jirafa junto a la caja de un camión. Un baúl de juguetes R2D2 para el niño que le escribió una carta a George Lucas con una idea para la próxima película de “Star Wars” ["Guerra de las galaxias"]. Un Star Studio [Estudio estrella] que me permitió grabar mi voz cantando mis canciones favoritas. Todos en el papel tapiz de Snoopy eran rebeldes rompiendo los moldes. Todo era magnífico en esa habitación. La sensación de que podría salvar la galaxia, ser una estrella de rock y bailar como Kevin Bacon. El fondo de pantalla de Snoopy ya no existe.

Vengo de un trasfondo y un sistema de valores que apoya mirar a través de una lente estrecha de la historia: hombres blancos singulares como los héroes, o incluso mesías políticos. Más tarde, me di cuenta de que este sistema sesgado ha causado una devaluación continua para las mujeres, personas de color y miembros LGBTQA + de nuestra comunidad. Como pintora, utilizo los retratos de hombres poderosos (creados por pintores masculinos poderosos), reproduzco cada pintura y luego pinto los sudarios de encajes, telas y bordados (considerados artesanías de mujeres) para alterar o cambiar los originales en algo nuevo.

I named her after the beautiful fields of buttercups painted in the fields around my house every spring. As a child, I spent hours making mud pies, playing in the grassy pastures behind my house, and telling Buttercup, my cat, all of my deepest secrets. I watched her birth several litters of kittens and walked many miles to meet her in the beauty of the outdoors. We walked the path of life together for many years. This piece of art represents the ups and downs, walking with Buttercup in the field of life. May the wonder and beauty of nature remind me to look for the beauty wherever I may walk--as simple as it may be. Always look for the Buttercups sparkling in the fields!

Blue was the pride of my mother and father, as she was the last cow of my grandfather’s herd that lived over twenty years after his death. My grandfather had raised her as a dogie calf, and she became the lead cow, as my parents cared for the same cows and land that my grandfather bought and worked for as a true American cowboy. She was a healthy mother who raised many calves that are still a part of the herd. My twin girls loved to ride in the back of the pick up and hand feed her cattle cubes on their trips to the pasture with my parents.

Then came the turmoil of 1968 and 1969. Innocence was shattered, and fairy tales faded into dreams. In this piece, the storybook castle in the background is slightly misty and faded. In the foreground are sepia pictures recalling the headlines of the late 1960’s: ** the deaths of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy ** the rise of Richard Nixon ** the horrors of the Vietnam War ** the bloody Democratic National Convention in Chicago ** the tragedy of Kent State The piece is an enclosed clay box with a hole in the back for hanging. The castle is printed on the clay using a photolithography technique. The sepia pictures are decals fired onto the clay and then mounted on springs so they are raised from the background.

Internally, childhood trauma has major implications on brain function and development. Using life records reflecting my own actual accounts of child abuse at an early age allows the viewer to explore the weight and capture the realities of trauma. I am attempting to help the viewer understand that trauma creates neurotoxicity in the brain when the hypothalamus does not regulate high levels of a hormone called cortisol (the stress hormone), affecting the brain circuitry at every facet and sometimes has long-term adverse effects on one's external physical health, behavior, and mental well-being.

I would describe it as a parasite, hard to fight as my family has fought many bouts with it. In this piece, I am depicting art and reality. This is a document from my birth records, while in the wound my mother visited the emergency room, most likely due to issues of breathing. The record reflects that her Ethanol (ETHOL or alcohol content) level was at 354 mg/dL. ETHOL contents between 300- 400 mg/dL are considered fatal levels because of possible respiratory depression- slow and ineffective breathing that can result in death or coma. The drawing depicts a raw emotion of how I saw addiction at an early age, as just a matter of choice. However, addiction is more complex than just decision making, but takes a toll on the body and brain just as trauma does to the child who experiences the effects of family addictions. My hope with this piece is to educate the viewer that addiction is not simplistic by nature but often comes with stigmas that many times are misunderstood by society and individuals affected by the addiction.

A fragmented map rests below, with every boundary registering various heights based on quantifiable access to these rights. Lower plateaus are easier to “climb” compared to higher evaluated portions. This is by design, not coincidence. As such a complex idea, I found the idea of opening and closing cabinets engaging. We cannot touch human rights, but if we could, do we imagine them being easily accessed, always open, or do we need to ask permission for the right key for the right lock? My own practice is challenged in this process, as I render graphic elements, everyday objects, and their shadows all in oil paint.

Once a purchase is made, the card continues to demand the owner pays more and over a much longer period of time. Interest rates change while available credit tempts into further purchasing. Though containing value, it is all abstract, only known when calling or online to view its real inner workings. All that being said, I never truly studied it as an object; it simply stayed in my pocket and rarely acknowledged. In my painting, I am interested in discovering the card’s visual nuance and in some way, gaining power through careful observation. Ironically, the worthless cardboard below requires the same amount of work and trained eye to bring to full finish. In this way, I am intrigued that something with such value is, on some level, equal to an object having no value.

Johnson, “Reflection” 22.5” x 30” Watercolor painting $350 Reflection is a watercolor painting that represents the emotions I felt up to the birth of my first born son. Reflecting on my thoughts, ambitions, and dreams of becoming the best version of myself for the sake of the child I was going to bear. In my hand I'm holding an un perfect shaped mirror which symbolizes finding and searching within myself who i truly was as a person. In order to strive to be a great mother to my unborn son. As a young college student at the age of 23 in my last semester of college; I was stuck in a hard place not knowing where my road would lead to as a single black mother about to raise a kid on her own with so many uncertainties. I had to realize I would do my best despite the imperfections in my life such as my mistakes, unpleasant experiences, tribulations, and challenges I would face on a daily basis. This painting represents the memory of emotions as a young mother but also the rebirth of strength I didn't know I had embedded deep within me waiting to shine and flourish beautifully in a dark place.

The first five weeks I had IV ports in both arms and IV stands with six or more bags hanging from the hooks. Often, nurses had trouble finding room to hang the IV bags. I measured my progress by the decreasing number of bags on the IV stand. Eventually I was down to a single IV vacuum ball, which untethered me from the stand. This technology allowed me to remain in my home over Thanksgiving. I learned to connect the IV myself for the last round before graduating to oral medication. The components of this piece are the lids to various IV drugs that are used in hospitals. The title, Journey, refers to the fifteen-month journey I took to regain my health, strength and independence.

Since I was around six years old, I have been fascinated with the concept of death. I have envisioned everyone I love dying and including the process of myself dying or committing suicide in multiple different ways. I don’t know if I would find this obsession “peaceful” or “happy” but now this concept of death, one that I was so scared of at six years old, is like a safety blanket now. I don’t feel “happy” but I feel less scared of life knowing I will die someday and return to the Earth. This is the memento of calmness in an unsure and unpredictable part of my childhood and now, adult life - Death. An ending. A sweet surrender to better things.

It's almost like a magical aura to it, it was the darkness and stars that heightened the universe we created as children. As a little girl I imagined myself as a princess to a faraway galaxy. The famous saying "Wish upon a Star" had always stayed with me growing up; I never grew out of the magical sense of wonder. This work signifies the curiosity of wonder and imagination of childhood.

Most provide me with good memories and some sad ones as well. They just sit there waiting to reveal the pleasures that they gave us at some point in our lives, otherwise why would we still have them. One of my favorite objects is my old jack-in-the-box. Jack is always predictable, repeating his expected startle. He always appears when you turn the crank, then you hear that familiar melody (I can hear it now) then that familiar ending, “Pop Goes the Weasel”. There’s old Jack right on cue. He sits in my studio, silent, always looking at me as if saying, “Can you take me out of this box? I think it’s time for recess.” I just laugh at the thought, not startled at all.

It allowed me to become immersed in a world of adventure without ever leaving home. It was my vacation to numerous parks and natural wonders and was my educational tool for learning about many countries and their historical relevance through the course of time. My View-Master also provided me with a lot of entertainment during those dull boring summer days when there was nothing else to do but just go outside and play. It was my “3D stereo picture viewing system”. With packets of my favorite “Looney Tunes”, I was but one click away from my all-time favorite, Wile E Coyote vs The Roadrunner, an allegory of predator vs prey.

All my books, trinkets, collections, and paintings would be moved; the house to be sold. The room where I grew from adolescence into adulthood would soon belong to someone else. In an attempt to hold onto the comfort of my childhood bedroom, I painted this piece. Each object in the composition is something that I cherish and feel deeply sentimental towards. These are the treasures that looked strange when not in their proper position in my room. As I painted each item, memories would flood over me. The painting now hangs above my bed in my parent’s new home. This past year has consisted of a lot of change and uncertainty; however, my love of holding onto sentimental objects and the nostalgic feeling this piece evokes within me is steadfast. audio recording https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1631859918430-7JJLYKL6U2HGMI8XGTMD/Lauren+Berend+Deges+_The+Keeper+of+Memories_.jpg 2021 MEMENTO Gallery (English) - Lauren Berend Deges, “The Keeper of the Memories” 24” x 24” oil paint on canvas NFS This piece focuses on my love of capturing memories and the fear of losing them. The bracelet draped over the photo album symbolizes the devasting grip Alzheimer’s has on my Grandma. She has always been intentional in recording memories, ensuring she can turn back time to remember moments spent together. It’s heart-wrenching to know the cherished memories now only a flicker in Grandma’s mind, will one day exist only if previously documented. On my hand, painted with slightly less detail to represent her passing, I’m wearing my Mamaw’s rings. Her care in preserving family history and treasures left behind, has served as a beautiful connection to her. Mamaw lives on in each photograph, trinket, and memory I can secure. My hand reaches to open the album. I am The Keeper of Memories now. When will I too, be grasping for moments on the verge of being lost forever? audio recording https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1631859975719-HKTZQIFGL7RO6V5CUZJI/Lynn+Thorne+_Flying_.jpg 2021 MEMENTO Gallery (English) - Lynn Thorne, “Flying” 11” x 14” (estimate) acrylic on canvas $400 The miscarriage was not unexpected, but that didn't make it hurt any less. In the short time we had together, I'd heard the heartbeat: connecting in the meaningful way bestowed upon a mother as she nourishes life growing inside her. The medical findings showed a chromosomal abnormality. But my first child, who never lived to draw a breath, wasn’t a medical file in a doctor’s drawer. She was a girl. My girl. "Flying" is my tribute to my unborn daughter, whose face I never saw. She never experienced first steps or ran on a playground. She never chased a butterfly or marveled at fireflies. She never set foot on the Earth but she lives on forever in the sky – and my mind – as a happy, carefree little girl. MY girl.

My choice of medium was Spin Art. I would get lost in my own world, making a rather large mess at the kitchen table, working with my Spin Art. Once I had created a variety of pieces, I would pick out the best ones, put my best kid signature on them and place them in my little red wagon. On the next sunny Saturday, I would take the wagon and go door to door giving all my neighbors the privilege of becoming collectors of this body of work - for the very low price of 25 to 50 cents per painting. With the help of a salad spinner, I was once again able to lose myself creating these Spin Art pieces. However, instead of a little red wagon, I have mounted the pieces on a segment of reclaimed wood.

When I pulled these two tiles away from the other 50 or so pieces I created, I was immediately transported back in time to my Grandmother's house. She lived out in the country and I spent many summers there as a child. The colors on the first tile bring memories of her garden and how she would spend hours snapping green beans and preparing other vegetables for our dinners. The imagery on the second tile reminds me of the sunsets we would watch as the sun fell below the cornstalks in the field behind her house. These memories have been mounted on a piece of reclaimed wood, that could have had a previous life as a part of a barn.

Shadow work causes the individual to remember aspects of the self that were taught to be shunned or were considered "bad" based off of social norms.

I was looking forward to seeing the migration sites of Monarch butterflies and the bright orange poppies that supposedly grew everywhere. My 4 year old son was excited about collecting seashells since we would be living near a beach. The poppies and monarchs did not disappoint, bur unfortunately our beach area had very cold ocean water and therefore, very few seashells. Not wanting to see my son disappointed, I began purchasing seashells from a nearby craft store and sneakily hiding them in the sand as we took our beach walks. He still has some of those shells to this day! Our three years in California were awesome and I still find myself California dreaming - of poppies, seashells and store-bought seashells.

A giraffe coat rack next to a truck bed. An R2D2 toy chest for the boy who wrote a letter to George Lucas with an idea for the next “Star Wars” movie. A Star Studio that let me record my voice singing my favorite songs. Everyone on the Snoopy wallpaper were rebels breaking the mold. Everything was larger than life in that room.

I came from a background and value system that supports looking through a narrow lens of history: singular white men as heroes, or even political messiahs. Later, I realized that this biased system has caused continual devaluing for women, BIPOC, and LGBTQA+ members of our community. As a woman painter, I use the portraits of powerful men (created by powerful male painters), reproduce each painting, and then paint the shrouds of lacework, fabrics, and embroidery (considered the crafts of women) to alter or change the originals into something new.

“Faro” enlace para la grabación del audio 22“x22“x5“, cerámica vidriada $800 En esta serie de obras de pared de cerámica vidriada utilizo el color como una meditación sobre el tiempo y su relación con la luz y el paisaje. La luz, íntimamente ligada al color y a la percepción, se convierte en metáfora de la invisibilidad para iluminar las cosas que muchas veces pasan desapercibidas. Situadas en la pared, estas formas de vasijas poco profundas se reinventan como paisajes, deteniendo así la vida cuando el sol se pone o sale. La superficie de estas obras está cubierta por un acto repetitivo de escultura de suspensión del tiempo. La intrincada superficie de estas obras atrae al espectador. Esta experiencia de mirar de cerca es un reflejo de la íntima relación entre la vasija y el cuerpo humano. Estas obras son un recuerdo de lo cotidiano, un recordatorio del papel fundamental que desempeña el recipiente para unir a las personas.

No queriendo ser demasiado precisa con el simbolismo cristiano, pero queriendo retratar ciertos aspectos de él, elegí incluir tres peluches en forma de ovejas, con el estilo de los que poseo. Colecciono una variedad de adornos e iconografía de ovejas. Esto muestra mi tendencia a rodearme de recordatorios de mi Fe y cómo la Santísima Trinidad es una presencia constante en mi vida. La flor de lirio de los valles que estoy agarrando es un símbolo de la inocencia que debe ser protegida y de cómo nuestra fe debe ser pura y como la de un niño. La textura de la manta de lana es un guiño a mis preferencias personales de comodidad y mantas suaves, pero también sugiere que cuando estoy en la presencia de estos suaves recordatorios, también estoy segura y protegida.

A través de las tormentas de la vida, siempre he sido de los que miran el lado positivo. En este dibujo al pastel, se muestra mi mentalidad disciplinada para disfrutar y agradecer lo que tengo y lo que está por venir, incluso en medio del tumulto. Mi color favorito es el amarillo y elegí incluir recuerdos amarillos de valor sentimental en el diseño para mostrar más cosas que me dan alegría. He incluido un anillo de oro en mi mano derecha, que me regaló mi madre, cuyo anillo era, y también llevo un collar de cetirizina que me regalaron mis padres para la Navidad. Me pongo mi impermeable amarillo brillante, sin miedo a destacar por mis creencias, y me quedo con un puñado de mi flor favorita, los girasoles; un símbolo de lealtad.

Soy paciente del MD Anderson en Houston y tengo lo que parecen ser un millón de citas médicas. Un día, cuando conducía a uno de los lugares para la cita, noté una sección del centro de la ciudad que tenía edificios con una hermosa arquitectura y vegetación.

El caballete me recuerda al primer caballete "de verdad" que me regaló mi novia, Hayley. El caballete es mi pasión (la pintura) la cual sacrifico (de ahí la cruz) todos los días para demostrarles a mis hijas que soy un líder positivo y que los sueños pueden hacerse realidad para ellas. El cuadro dentro de las imágenes de los cuadrados me recuerda a la primera obra de arte que me simboliza a mí y a mis hijas y que realmente me ayuda/recuerda a seguir caminando hacia adelante. El cuadrado rojo soy yo llevando a mis hijas (cuadrados pequeños) a la cima, y para mí, eso significa dar pequeños pasos todos los días para crear la propia felicidad y, a veces, podemos necesitar ayuda y nos obliga a que seamos interdependientes, lo que puede crear la felicidad para los demás. La Cruz, cada vez que la veo o pienso en ella, me recuerda a la positividad y un hombre o una mujer que hará lo que sea necesario para llevar una vida hermosa con integridad, autenticidad, moral y valores. El brazo (el brazo de mi hija menor) se ha incluido en la obra para crear un gesto de entrega y una ilusión.

La base es una mesa vieja que hizo mi abuelo (Gang-Gang para mi hermano gemelo y para mí). Esta mesa me recuerda a los momentos cuando le ayudaba en su gasolinera (aprendiendo a contar dinero, dar cambio, picar hielo, rebanar sandías) observando su manera de trabajar duro. Cuando veo las clavijas en la vieja guía telefónica que se encuentra encima de la mesa, me anima que, aunque soy un procrastinador, cuando me pongo a hacer algo, lo hago con mucho esfuerzo. Cada clavija en esta guía telefónica representa un par de jeans que hacía en nuestra tienda de jeans. En los años 70, los jeans de moda venían en una sola longitud, 37-39”. Cuando un cliente se decidía por un par, yo le hacía el dobladillo, por lo general, cuando pagaba. Recuerdo que si sigo adelante, poco a poco, puedo lograr mucho. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1663121679273-KW653T1E55HG2IFEQ52E/CGlenCummings+Lola+and+the+Boys.png 2022 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - C. “Glen” Cummings, “Lola y los chicos” enlace para la grabación del audio 22“x28”, Pintura Valspar sobre madera contrachapada tallada en 3D $320 “Lola y los chicos” es un conmovedor recordatorio de la reunión familiar del 4 de julio del año pasado. Me lleva de vuelta a la cabaña de Chino en Georgia. Ubicado entre los árboles, domina el arroyo debajo del campo. La cabaña estaba llena de primos, tíos, hermanos, sobrinos y cuatro mascotas. Hubo un cálido sentimiento de unidad, paz, amor y felicidad compartida por todos. Mi sobrina, Jennifer, trajo a sus hermosos pastores alemanes, Hans y Mats, también conocidos como "Los chicos". Mi esposa, Rocio, y yo trajimos a nuestra mini australiana, Lola. En nada se hicieron los mejores amigos. El ver a Lola y Los chicos persiguiéndose y coqueteando fue entretenido y bueno para el alma. La sonrisa de Lola expresa el estado de ánimo general y el sentimiento de todos los presentes y me recuerda este maravilloso momento con la familia.

Estaba atormentado por la preocupación después de ser afectado por la muerte de siete amigos de la familia en un trágico accidente de avión cuando yo tenía 10 años, y me diagnosticaron un trastorno de pánico cuando tenía 14 años después de que una prueba de matemáticas me diera un ataque de pánico. Me recetaron Xanax, al que me volví adicto bastante rápido. Durante mi adicción, estaba en una mala relación que me dejaba preocupado constantemente. Esta obra, realizada en 2014 cuando tenía 17 años y en adicción activa, representa la angustia sentimental que sentía durante ese tiempo, piel azul y apenas respirando, el corazón sangrando, cegado por las drogas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1662740567325-HXY3O8KLWZV25K2K29ST/cheryl+hazelton+Solace++-+Cheryl+Hazelton.jpg 2022 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Cheryl Hazelton, “Consuelo” enlace para la grabación del audio 24”x24”, Acrílico No está a la venta Este es un cuadro de pintura acrílica de mi hijo, que tiene autismo. Caminábamos en el campo cerca de nuestra casa después de la escuela. Tenía dificultades en la escuela. Nunca se quejó. No sabíamos en ese momento que el maestro que pensaba que todos los niños con necesidades especiales eran "simplemente niños malcriados que necesitaban disciplina" también era su suplente e incitaba sus ataques deliberadamente. Tampoco lo sabíamos porque nunca reaccionó ni nos dijo que estar en la cafetería de una escuela, o a veces en su salón de clases, era “como un dolor de cabeza”. No supimos hasta mucho después cuánto se guardaba para sí mismo. Cuánto deseaba complacer a todos a su alrededor. Esta fue una foto que le hice en paz durante nuestro paseo. No sabía cuánto llevaba mi hijo sobre los hombros y pienso en lo fuerte que es. Llamo a este cuadro “Consuelo”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1662740567225-6FKT5O610UQ6XMZFHX0Y/ChipKouriDrivingIntoYesteryear+-+Chip.jpg 2022 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Deyzia Heath, “Haunting” (noviembre 2017) enlace para la grabación del audio 36”x36”, Óleo sobre lienzo $250 “Haunting (noviembre 2017)” es un cuadro sobre encontrar pequeños momentos para apreciar durante los momentos de dolor. En 2017, un familiar cercano mío estaba en un hospicio y yo compraba flores de forma rutinaria en la tienda de comestibles como un intento de traer un poco de alegría durante un momento sombrío de la vida. Después de su fallecimiento en octubre, era un hábito que me sentía obligada a continuar. Puedo recordar sentirme tan extraño durante estos viajes y es un recuerdo que se ha quedado conmigo, así que al escuchar el tema de "Memento" inmediatamente pensé en este momento. Y veo tanto las flores como el Memento como el mismo cuadro que materializa este momento que ha estado viviendo dentro de mi psique durante tanto tiempo.

Más adelante supe que era bipolar y esquizofrénica. Nunca la volví a ver y murió cuando yo tenía 11 años en un accidente automovilístico. El negativo original de esta foto estaba en las pertinencias de mi padre, y él me tomó esta foto en la orilla de un lago cuando tenía un año. Revelé el negativo y superpuse mis propios ojos en el fondo de una habitación oscura. Luego pinté mi capó de rosa con pintura al óleo.

He colocado todos estos recuerdos especiales que ella guardaba, que componían las fuerzas fundamentales de la vida de mi madre e hice una caja de sombras para honrar a mi madre, Elise Lynne Maestaz. Su gorro del bautizo, fotos y artículos de la Primera Comunión y la Solemne Comunión, un retrato de un hermoso bebé y el vestido que lleva puesto, un juego de perlas para celebrar su graduación de la universidad como madre soltera de tres niños pequeños y artículos de la misa conmemorativa y su necrología constituyen el tema de mis "Mom"entos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1662740568670-EWF2QADD2GGYNDLD258Q/DeyziaHeathHauntingNovember2017jpeg+-+Deyzia+Heath.jpeg 2022 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) enlace para la grabación del audio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1662740568927-U2M2QRI2E0SWA3LY418G/Elizabeth+Yarosz_Ash+COVID_7.jpg 2022 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Elizabeth Yarosz-Ash, “COVID #7” enlace para la grabación del audio 9“x7“, acrílico sobre una hoja de una revista médica de hace más de 100 años $550 Estas piezas narrativas describen la crisis inesperada de vivir el inicio de la pandemia del coronavirus.

Poco a poco perdía a mi amigo, mi amante, mi compañero durante los últimos 13 años a causa de la demencia... y no había nada que pudiera hacer para detener su declive. La mejor solución fue que se fuera a vivir con su hijo, un profesional sanitario, para que pudiera darle los cuidados que necesitaba. Pero, mi corazón estaba roto, hecho pedazos. Me sentía cruda, expuesta a demasiadas emociones. Esta escultura mural nació de mi desesperación. Tiene una gran cantidad de piezas rotas, así como una sección donde no hay protección para la estructura interna. Como si los dioses del horno conocieran mi dolor, la parte posterior de la pieza se rompió durante la cocción final.

Para mí, las garzas parecen criaturas maravillosas y exóticas, ¡y tener una sobrevolando mi casa fue mágico! Me recordó a historias que había leído sobre pájaros volando sobre viviendas y, dependiendo del tipo de ave, puede ser buena señal o muy mal presagio. Consideré a mi garza como una muy buena señal y esperé a que sucediera algo maravilloso. Sin embargo, no pareció salir nada de eso.

Fuimos a Rávena, Roma, Venecia y Florencia, entre otras ciudades más pequeñas. Vi mucho arte realmente famoso del que en ese momento no sabía mucho. Solo sabía que me cansaba un poco de ver arte religioso. Luego, una década más tarde, me especialicé en bellas artes y tuve el placer de tomar varias clases de historia del arte, y luego incluso enseñé Historia del Arte avanzada durante un tiempo. Con la educación vino una profunda apreciación y fascinación por el arte religioso de todas las culturas. Esta obra en particular está inspirada en los retablos trípticos medievales europeos. He pintado animales salvajes en lugar de las figuras bíblicas habituales. Me gustaría pensar que si mi yo de 19 años viera esta obra, no se aburriría como una ostra, ¡ja!

Imagínese lo difícil que fue conciliar el sueño. Fingiría que estaba en mi bicicleta andando a toda velocidad para escapar. Llegaba la mañana y desayunaba y esperaba el momento de la libertad. Me quitaba los rulos y exclamaba lo hermosa que estaba. No podía importarme menos mi cabello y solo quería salir y jugar. Me montaba en mi bicicleta y andaba por la calle.

Light, intimately linked to color and perception, becomes a metaphor for invisibility, to illuminate the things often overlooked. Situated on the wall these shallow vessel forms are reimagined as landscapes, stilling life as the sun sets or rises. The surface of these works are covered in a repetitive act of sculpting, one of suspending time. The intricate surface of these works draw a viewer close. This experience of close looking is a reflection of the intimate relation between the vessel and the human body. These works are a memento to the everyday, a reminder of the foundational role the vessel plays in bringing people together.

Not wanting to be too “on-the-nose” with Christian symbolism, but still wanting to portray certain aspects of it, I chose to include three sheep stuffed animals, styled after ones I own. I collect a variety of sheep nick-nacks and iconography. This shows my tendency to surround myself with reminders of my Faith and how the Holy Trinity is a constant presence in my life. The lily-of-the-valley flower that I’m clutching is a symbol of innocence that must be protected and how our Faith should be child-like and pure. The fleece blanket texture is a nod to my personal preferences of comfort and soft blankets, but it also suggests that when I’m in the presence of these soft reminders, that I’m also secure and safe.

In this pastel drawing, it shows my disciplined mind-set to enjoy and be thankful for what I have and what’s to come, even amidst turmoil. My favorite color is yellow and I chose to include yellow mementos of sentimental value into the design to further show things that give me joy. I’ve included a gold ring on my right hand, gifted to me from my mom whose ring it used to be and I also am wearing a cetirizine necklace gifted to me from both of my parents for Christmas.

The easel reminds me of the very first "real" easel I've been gifted by my girlfriend, Hayley. The easel is my passion (painting) which I sacrifice (hence the cross) every day to show my daughters that I am a positive leader and that dreams can be their reality. The painting within the painting of the squares reminds me of the very first piece of Art that symbolizes me and my daughters which truly helps/reminds me to keep walking forward. The red square is me leading my children (small squares) to the top, and to me, that means taking small steps each and every day to create your happiness and at times we may need help and it requires us to be interdependent which may create happiness for others. The Cross, whenever I see it or think about it, it reminds me of positivity and a man or woman who will do whatever it takes to live a beautiful life with integrity, authenticity, morals and values. The arm (my younger daughter's arm) was put in the painting to create a giving gesture and an illusion.

This table reminds me of memories made helping him at his filling station (learning to count money, make change, chop ice, slice watermelons) watching his work ethic. When I see the pins in the old phone book that sits on top of the table I’m encouraged that although I’m a procrastinator, when I get after it, I get after it. Each pin in this phone book represents one pair of jeans I hemmed at our jean store. In the ‘70s fashion jeans came in one length, 37-39”. When a customer decided on a pair I would hem them, usually by the time they checked out.

After their passing in October, it was a habit that I felt compelled to continue with. I can remember feeling so strange during these trips and it's a memory that stuck with me so hearing the theme of 'Memento" I immediately thought back to this moment.

I took my heron as a very good sign and waited for something wonderful to happen. Nothing seemed to come of it, though.

We went to Ravenna, Rome, Venice, and Florence among other smaller cities. I saw a lot of really famous art that at the time I didn’t know much about. I just knew that I got kinda tired of seeing religious art. Then a decade later, I majored in fine art and had the pleasure of taking several art history classes, and then I even taught AP Art History for a bit. With education, came a deep appreciation and fascination for religious art of all cultures. This painting in particular is inspired by medieval European triptych altarpieces. I’ve painted wildlife in place of the usual Biblical figures. I’d like to think that if my 19 year old self were to see this painting, she wouldn’t be bored to tears, ha!

The piece harkens back to the tinted postcards from the early years of car travel in the United States.

Once a month the dreaded Ladies’ Home Journal magazine would arrive to my house. It always featured the latest 1960s hair styles. My mother would test out the newish hair torturing techniques on Saturday nights. She would place the curlers and twisted rags all over my head. I then had to wear the curlers or rags all night long. Just imagine how difficult it was to fall asleep. I would pretend I was on my bike riding like the wind to escape. Morning would arrive and I would eat my breakfast and wait for the moment of freedom. She would remove the curlers and exclaimed how beautiful I looked. I could care less about my hair and just wanted to go outside and play. I would jump on my bike and ride down the street. My curls would fly in the breeze and I would proclaim…free at last.

He rode a Harley, had a tattoo, smoked pot, used drugs, and hung out in bars. We were together for 5 years. We separated one year before this motorcycle was manufactured.

Although her major was International Relations (not art), her avid curiosity and wide interests led her to study, explore, and experiment with various art mediums. She founded “Unforgotten Butterflies” to educate and raise awareness about “Comfort Women,” who were victims of human trafficking and forced to become sex slaves during WWII by the Japanese Imperial Military. Sinmin makes handmade items like pins and necklaces (made with Hanji, Korean traditional paper), hand painted t-shirts, hand painted bags, and hand made bags to share and gift to people at awareness raising events. Currently, she makes and shares butterfly bracelets made with DoRe MaeDeup, (Korean traditional knot) with a “beginning and end” meaning with people she encounters locally and globally, while traveling, and at local and international events. She hopes the person wearing a butterfly bracelet will remember and adopt a spirit of a voiceless and faceless “Comfort Women” and become their voices and faces in solidarity. Korean traditional lucky charms, GaeBulNoriGaes, are also handmade and given to people. The charm is meant to give protection from three disasters related to wind, fire, and water. She continues and hopes to eventually make 200,000 GaBulNoriGaes that are uniquely different representing an individual spirit of a “Comfort Women” who were robbed of their dignity and human rights. She loves to create arts, crafts, and anything with a purpose of message, education, and bringing people together. She likes to learn and share her Korean heritage, culture, and history. She is certified as a metal clay instructor from both South Korea and the US. She taught MinHwa at the Coppell Arts Center and at the Dallas Korean Cultural Center. She likes to incorporate Korean arts and crafts such as KeumBoo (gold plating), MaeDeup (Korean traditional knots), CheonYeonYeomSaek (natural dye), and MinHwa (Korean traditional folk painting) to her creative works. Like the Butterfly Effect, Sinmin hopes her small continued efforts and actions started in North Texas and beyond will help raise awareness and increase the interest of “Comfort Women” globally to help turn tides and make a difference in helping all “Comfort Women” obtain their justice and regain their dignity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1662738428395-CVX5I4EGHT427WM0TJ5K/Juror+Photo+Daniel.PNG 2022 MEMENTO jurors - Daniel Juarez Daniel Juarez is originally from El Paso, Texas.

His art techniques and subjects quickly changed after taking a child development course, which influenced him to take a closer look at cognitive development in children and his childhood trauma in the foster care system. Juba received a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Social Work and now works with children in foster care who have experienced some of the same traumas as him. “Advocacy can be transferable in everything you do, even in visual arts.” It is Juba’s goal to be a voice in visual art while exploring these subjects in hopes to create individual and community awareness.

I am a multimedia horror artist combining color theory with dark symbolism for a one-of-a-kind experience. The darkness I speak of is not about depicting the monsters you can see, but rather exposing the ones you can’t. I was never afraid of the dark growing up. I was, however, terrified by what could and would be hiding in it. My process fuses the untamed mind with the invoking display of shadowed hauntings and bizarre mysticism in the physical. The overall direction of this current body of work is to be more comfortable with the unknown as we wake up another day in an ever changing society. Through my art I am delivering darkness into light; fears of the darkness then suffocate and allow way for personal growth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/9851773c-c58b-43c8-92f6-4b3b67b56a7f/alex+headshot.png VECTORED My name is Alex. I'm 31 years old, and I grew up on social media. I don't like it and never have. Growing up in my generation, my personal and professional life is seemingly non-existent without sharing it across multiple platforms. The self-agrandizing nature I feel I need to exude to succeed on these platforms, and therefore in my personal and professional lives, is anthithesis to how I like to operate naturally.

"When I’m not painting professionally, I enjoy sketching. I might make little faces on a calendar or I draw little moments that I catch when I observe people, possibly with a little quote, and give them the drawing. They are usually ridiculous and humorous, but they make people happy. In that way I think of my art as a means of spreading happiness. Even something as simple as a frog with cowboy boots on a post-it note can be kept and recalled with fondness. In reviewing the works submitted for MEMENTO, I will be glad to see what memories have been preserved in the pieces, and what stories they carry with them." Aaron has created several murals in Wichita Falls, including Sunset at the Falls mural inside the Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce and, most recently the Lift Station #25 Mural for the City of Wichita Falls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/4c76305f-6533-4719-bc83-1176f466ec18/juror+photo+simon.jpg 2023 MEMENTO jurors - Simon Welch, WF/TX Simon Welch is a multi-media artist whose disciplines span photography, graphic design, illustration, sculpture, and printmaking.

Some of the sketches eventually become paintings, and some of them are material for future ambitions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784062153-RXREERO5KT9T0V2GLNL4/8th+and+Indiana.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784122084-UE1BGGGNNGTCDQO7IMEX/Breakfast+at+McBrides.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784207178-P0WUC0YY9ALRSYT67MHB/City+Bus.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784285692-BKIFLMRF9M2UZKIPPDZB/Downtown+Wichita+Falls.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784222346-EH4516HMZDP7LZ4MDUID/Daydreams.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784343186-BM3K5RRCZRCUW1HUUZ4P/General+Hospital.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784369415-NLVA1ZXR2VBC1O0C7BMY/Hamilton+Park+Ride+in+Silence.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784477687-2702OAFNQHWXW5I8FJPU/Moms+Kids+Crayons+%26+Color+Pages.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784401862-QJ44KJ1EU4N48HI2M01O/Hotter+N+Hell+Riders.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784513989-8P4G56QA5AU9F9RXQAS1/My+Friend+Cindy.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784923472-HADQ63O6KGQEX4VQ5WUZ/The%2BBest%2BThings%2Bin%2BLife.jpg Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784619257-F4X8PYINTM59CW6RBMPP/Snake+River+Tour.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784569991-ABO1NQO61KLJ6SZC49LR/Robin+%26+Chap+Love+Medince+Park.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784541913-NJ9RJEFWR1TAMG7JDMM5/Riding+Past+the+Grain+Elevator.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784683652-EE4HPVBOT78ALZ10YTVA/Start+of+the+Day.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784677922-BCHZLRMSP6PDQVLPNSYW/Squirrel%27s+Paradise.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784427595-4FD0HVA17QQB2JK8CZE8/M%26M+Burgers.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689785502003-TSDZNXSE48QMHPYZL2XE/Ron+The+Artist.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784761266-LCUVMTWOTN09XL2O7M2H/The+Bus+People.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784860436-Y1BN8BJML5U58MT2NNBB/Two+Art+Vendors.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689784835157-AR7HWJBKAE1S6K9QSIAQ/Three+Amigos.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1e7a99de-2eff-4e99-8773-d32088039d5a/banner+for+bio+page.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689787399313-5FX5U1FESYTUSG2PAQ2H/Family+Outing.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689787661203-ZPU7M0HI9J68QGEJAK99/Fishing%2Bwith%2BFamily%2Band%2BFriends.jpg Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689787507334-LIJTGVJC8EJNHTB7B8XX/Weeks+Park.png Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1689787706229-TPGJINV85IHYDWAMAAEN/Art%2BWalk%2BAfter%2BHours.jpg Ronald Hamer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/b276a0fa-5346-497b-9c99-7e79f4a3c191/Bike+Wichita+Falls.png Ronald Hamer Ronald Hamer’s distinct style of painting and caricature is influence by cartoonists Dave Breger and Joe Kubert, and captures moments of everyday life.

He has demonstrated a creative interest since he could hold a paint brush at the age of three. Painting and drawing at floor level, he instinctively created art that evolved into forms that are influenced by personal motivation and his surroundings. Between the age of six or seven, Aarian began to create art influenced by several schools of art including modern and abstraction with a special interest in color and Wassily Kandinsky art. He perceived everything in a much broader and deeper sense creating narratives from memory, music and his favorite literature. Aarian perceives art as seriously as he plays music. Along with creating visual art, Aarian is a musician and composes on the piano original works which he declares are a continuation from his canvases. Impressionism is another school of art which he particularly enjoys and composes melody beyond standard lyricism. Aarian Is mentored by his mother who is also an artist. He creates in acrilic, oils, oil pastels, and paper collage. Aarian is nine years old. http://www.9thstreetstudios.com/2023-memento-gallery-english daily 0.75 2023-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691595173662-22Q8XHBFI0JJAQ1GP59E/AarianMarrivadaReturnoftheMaya+-+Leticia+Alaniz.JPG 2023 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Aarian Marrivada Alaniz, "Return of the Maya" 11 x 14 in, Analog Paper Collage on Arches Paper Audio Recording My name is Aarian, I am nine years old. This is my very first collage. The Mayans from Guatemala and Mexico are in my heritage because my mother is Mexican and my father is from India. The giant Mayan sculpture head is ancient beauty in stone carved hundreds of years before the conquistadors from Spain arrived. I have memories of road trips, sitting on sarapes and weavings at the beach and eating fresh fruit and ceviche. I have my favorite colcha that I call the "colores colcha", the sombrero represents my grandfather, the orchids the south of Mexico. The monkey represents me, learning technology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691595126197-S0ZOALPDQZWBU2111XZN/AudraMillerGenrationalTransformation+-+Audra+Miller.png 2023 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Audra Miller, "Generational Transformation" 25”x29”, Multimedia Audio Recording A few months ago, my father gifted his childhood chairs to my daughters, and I was elated to renovate them for their new apartment. I have no memory of my grandmother who recovered the chairs in the 50’s, but I do remember my grandfather. His smile was infectious and his eyes danced! As I pried the tacks off the back of a chair, I noticed the chair was held together with a rice cereal box from around 1953. My dad would have been 3 years old. I imagined my dad as a child sitting in the tidy little white house with plush carpet-like grass where my grandfather lived. I envisioned my dad’s childlike feet dangling from the chair sharing a bowl of rice cereal with his mom, dad, and brothers. Such a simple act of modernizing a chair filled me with lasting memories once shared and those to come.

A souvenir of life can be the wisp of a memory set loose by a touch, a smell, or a random object of daily living. Such mementos fill my life, most trace back to my father, Dwight Wilkinson. Although I have possessions once belonging to my late father, what remains of him in my life are the intangibles. Were it not for his enthusiasm and encouragement of my talents in art, maybe I wouldn’t be where I today. He was responsible for the art lessons, music lessons, and bedtime stories that shaped my life. He could turn any part of daily life into a science lesson; the relationship of acid and base, starch to sugar, a stinking drop of swamp water teaming with life under a microscope. What cannot be held in my hand is held in my heart. All the souvenirs displayed here have meaning to my memories of him. The glue mâché figures represent the fun, creative, and silly side of life Dad passed on to me. Dwight Wilkinson would enjoy standing in front of this latest creation of mine and walking down memory lane.

One day we came upon some falls with a 4-5 foot drop. The force pushed me under a fallen tree. With the tree across my mid section, the powerful current wrapped me around the trunk like the letter “U”, with my arms and legs flailing toward the surface. With presence of mind, I brought my arms down to the tree, pushed off and popped up to the surface. This piece is a reminder of that event and how it could have had a different ending. It embodies the elements involved; The river (base), the tree, the inner tube and me, as the memories of that day are often revisited.

Their flat personas never resonated with me. I loved fishing and boating. I would spend long hours exploring the swamp with my dog. My family pushed dolls every holiday and birthday. I destroyed A LOT of dolls in "accidents" through my childhood. I've learned as a parent we sometimes mourn a child we made up in our minds; all the while, a living, breathing child can be a complete stranger in our home. I have often felt like a paper doll. Not being seen as a three dimensional person. Dressed as what people want to make me. Sometimes I look around and see a lot of paper dolls trying to fit in as well.

She still used an ice chest and had ice delivered. She slept on an old rope bed that had been in our family five generations (seven counting mine). And she would meet with her friends to do looming. They would share clothing scraps and bits of materials. Grandma Goldie made throw rugs out of plastic bread bags for the mud room back door. She would keep sheets for softer nicer rugs throughout the house. She was always thinking of new rug ideas. She passed in 1979. Her loom sits in my kitchen along with the ice chest. Working the shuttle, I wonder how many more generations will enjoy this piece of family history.

Not long after, he loaded us up in the car for a cross-country trip to his mother’s house. Everything was changing, and I didn’t know how to process it. We would stay at motels along the way, one of them being a little cabin. As we sat there a strange smell wafted through the screen door. When I asked what the new smell was, my dad told me it was a skunk. I remember it like it was yesterday. Just a few short years later, he married my forever mom and my new sister also liked that smell. To this day, when I smell a skunk, I smile. I still love that smell and I feel warm inside thinking about the joy of getting a sister, and how much I love my late father.

This remembrance brings a sea of images, sensory impressions, and echoes of past feelings. This painting is my memento, a visual diary of a turbulent journey through my husband’s diagnosis of a rare cancer. It reflects uncertainty, brain fog, exhaustion, and being tossed about in waves of unfathomable surgeries, treatments and eventual death. The title, “The Parting,” tells the story of losing a husband, father, and inconceivable things like school, church and friend groups. Like the “parting of the Red Sea,” it also speaks to miracles in the form of extended childcare, meals, and payment for my out-of-state hotel bills. Both the losses and the miracles bring an eye-opening clarity to friendships, and it’s something that will always be remembered.

As stressed out as that pandemic made me, I always felt it was my job as a photographer to document how my family dealt with the stress of that year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691607968909-ZS6NAKHO1ACYZD2EBEQ8/DebbieMaestazMoodyBlues.jpg 2023 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Debbie Maestaz, "Mt. Scott-Moody Blues" 26x20, photography-canvas Audio Recording This picture was taken on Thanksgiving Day 2020. "Moody Blues" will always serve as a memento for me of the Winter of 2020 and the end of the first year of a global pandemic. A group of four of us set out to explore Wichita Mountain's Wildlife Refuge and drove up to the summit of Mt. Scott to start. This tree caught my eye, so I grabbed a quick shot after a couple of group selfies and just before we drove back down. What we couldn't know at the time was our group of four would all lose a family member to the virus just days and weeks after this trip. Two would lose a parent two would lose an aunt and an uncle. You see, we were two sets of cousins out on this holiday. So the losses were a shared experience, like the trip, something to remember.

These memories connect individuals to their town's history, values, and heritage, fostering pride and unity. Collective memories evolve over time, adding layers to the town's historical tapestry and shaping the community's understanding of the past and present. Consider this school in Wichita Falls, constructed in 1922. While I attended a rival high school, my grandparents and mom went to this school. I have special memories of being in this building for band and choir concerts. Although it will no longer be used the same way due to new high schools being built, it remains a part of Wichita Falls' history—a reminder that I too am woven into the town's tapestry. This is an example of collective memory and personal memory being connected.

My classmates and I explored four different countries. During our journey, I made it a point to find unique souvenirs in each place. In Paris, I purchased perfume, and to this day, I still have the bottles. They hold a special significance for me, serving as a reminder of that remarkable trip filled with wonderful people, delicious food, and a sense of carefree adventure. Even if I were to revisit those exact locations today, both myself and the world around me have changed. However, these perfume bottles transport me back in time, connecting me to those cherished moments and evoking the excitement I experienced back then.

Audio Recording Which is heavier, a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks? Bricks. Bricks have mass. Like when I woke from a colonoscopy to hear the heavy words, "a cancerous mass." I was 38. A wife, daughter, mother of two young boys. When I found out the news, I was wearing a shirt with the first scripture I memorized. Psalm 91:4; "He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall find refuge." I almost died many times that year: from cancer, a rare disease, complications from surgeries, viruses picked up when my immunity was "don't leave your house" level low. I prayed Psalm 91:4 over every treatment. Call me insane, but I kept finding feathers, birds, butterflies when I'd go in for treatment. I've been cancer free for four years, with yearly follow-ups for life. I keep finding feathers. My mementos. My talisman.

I ended up with a whole collection when he was done. Opening the box and immediately seeing the delicate features of her face and hands, to the intricate detail of the kimono she was wearing. The artistry of it was amazing. They came to be the most beautiful dolls I had ever owned. Over the years I've come to love them more, and cherish the memory of each one. As I look at them now, I remember his gift of love to me. And the enjoyment he got just watching me unbox each one. He always tried to make my home and life beautiful in every way. All Geisha dolls hold the memory of the very first time I saw each of them. Acts of love come in many different forms. We should treasure each one.

This piece represents the daily struggles that come along with an autoimmune disease. Layers of vellum represent the pills that keep my body functioning. The organic shapes are representative of brain fog, exhaustion and memory issues. The dead frosty flowers personify a thyroid that does not fully function. The lights can be turned off and on displaying how my thyroid is never consistent. I was told that I have had this condition for my entire life. I constantly think about what would be different had I known or been treated earlier. How changing one thing in your life could completely take you on a different path. Would I have chosen the same life? How could my life have been different? Would I change it? I do not think I would.

They depict times and places, the lives of the people who make them, and capture slices of life. Everyone has a quilt that has been given to them. These blankets hold the memory of the family member that gifted them to you. My Great Grandmother was an avid quilt maker. These quilts were a mix of old clothing and scrap fabric. Every time I look at these quilts, they are a reminder of her. In memory of Granny Gee, I crafted a quilt of paper. Every piece of paper was handmade by me from recycled paper, just as she used recycled fabrics. Inlaid flowers mimic the floral patterns my grandmother incorporated into her quilts. This quilt is a visual representation of my grandmother's warmth and love.

About a year later, inspired by the “Memento” theme, I started to create a couple of mixed media pieces using ink, paint and the reception napkins. I had no real direction or plan, I just started.

My sewing class required me to have a sewing kit. Reluctant to burden my parents, I approached my teacher and explained my situation, assuring her that I would obtain the kit soon through babysitting earnings. She then stated out loud, “What’s wrong…are there too many kiddos in the family.” In that instant, my world crumbled. Embarrassment, humiliation, and shame crashed over me like relentless ocean waves, as I silently endured, arms crossed, gaze fixed forward. It took me years to learn we are not defined by someone else’s words, and our worth goes far beyond any financial constraints or family size. I believe that people who are hurt often end up hurting others, and I genuinely hope she found healing from her pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1693777933702-Q7TFG70I211V7Y0BTTCP/MarshaWright-ReevesTheLatchkeyKid%2B-%2BScott%2BReeves.jpg 2023 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Marsha Wright-Reeves, "The Latchkey Kid" 34" x 28", Mixed Media Audio Recording In 1971, I was nine, my mom was a single parent, she worked twenty miles from home. She left an hour before I got up. That summer, she gave me a blue key, on a string to wear around my neck, I was a Latchkey kid! During the next two years, I got myself up, made breakfast and lunch, picked out my clothes, locked the house, then rode my bike to school. After school, I rode home and let myself in. At home I heated food on the stove, cooked TV dinners in the oven, fed my dog, and did homework, all on my own. I watched whatever I wanted on TV. I felt grown up! Somedays It was lonely, but I learned lessons of self-reliance that helped me become a stronger, more mature person. My blue key unlocked my house, my independence and changed my life.

On my third birthday, my parents got me a little red wagon. I loved my wagon so much! I pulled it around, filled with my favorite toys, I even took naps in it out in our front yard. My wagon became a part of so many memories from my earliest years, it was always with me. I never would have dreamed that before my fourth birthday, my parents, after 17 years married, would divorce. My mother, my sister, my wagon, and I would move to a house of our own, without my dad. I have kept this wagon for 58 years; I have always loved it and it was the last gift my parents ever gave me together.

I am at Tan Son Nhut Air Base, Saigon, South Vietnam, on 29 April 1975. During the night, combat raged on the perimeter of the base. At daylight, air support is requested. Two attack aircraft, and one gunship aircraft, taxi out and takeoff. Over the combat zone, they attack the enemy. Suddenly, the gunship is hit by a shoulder-fired missile. The aircraft momentarily hangs in the air, frozen, floating in the sky. Then, it slowly cartwheels over and tumbles down. I am transfixed, as the gunship crashes, explodes, and a large smoke cloud rises into the sky. My images are a graphic Memento of the grim human cost of war. The gunship belonged to the South Vietnamese Air Force. The enemy were the North Vietnamese Communist Army. South Vietnam fell to the Communists on 30 April 1975. Their selfless sacrifice is indelibly etched in my memory and haunts my nightmares. Every April, I am still there.

Mine is a drawing of debris from a house fire I was in when I was twelve. For me it is a memento about conquering fear and growing. It is about remembering to look for the beauty in life, everywhere, even the in the dark. So even though this was one of the darkest days in my life I found beauty in it because it shaped me into the person I am today. Most people hold on to their mementos to remember the good times, but for me it is to remember that even though I lost everything, I lived.

Grandpa was ornery as maybe you can tell from the twinkle in his eye. Grandma was more subdued, which is why I like this image of her so much. She was not a fan of the photo I took and would probably not like that I drew it. However, she was fun and loving and I like that I got to see this side of her. I started painting keepsake boxes in 2020. They’re a tangible way to encapsulate those I love with what I do and keep them close forever. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691595755220-63UTFPRTE9TMOAH07JB6/RebeccaPrinceGus+-+Rebecca+Prince.jpg 2023 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Rebecca Prince, "Gus" 8" x 8.5" x 2", acrylic, water-soluble wax pastels on a wooden box Audio Recording Meet Gus, my beloved snuggle buddy. I had a few lap dogs over the years, but Gus was the best at cuddling. About the only thing that could pull him away was if someone else was eating cheese. He loved people and was super sweet to everyone, but my lap was his favorite. When he died in 2016, he took a piece of me with him. I had always wanted to paint this photo of him in my lap. It took a few years after his death before I could bring myself to do it. I decided drawing him on a keepsake box would perfectly express how much he meant to me. Mr. Gus… gone, but not forgotten. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691595749220-SZESMT767WEKSF732AFK/SageEdsallGrandmaandtheCows+-+Sage+Edsall.JPG 2023 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Sage Edsall, "Grandma and the Cows" 22.75" x 18.75" (including framing), Acrylic on panel Audio Recording To me, memories are much more than just a moment when we pause, look back and smile. As an artist, I feel obligated to preserve memories the best way I know how- to recreate them as art that will hopefully live longer than a photo stuffed away in a shoebox. This past April, I lost my Grandmother. The reference photo I used for this piece was one of her photos that was left to collect dust. Although the memory itself is still alive to me, I knew this is one I needed to preserve for future generations. As I was recreating this memory in paint, layer by layer, I found that my process became a symbolic reflection of how my memories of my grandmother are stored in my mind, and I began to revisit each one, allowing me to spend time with her in the only way I can now.

The process started with mesh and wire rollers that were imbedded with bristles that scratched the scalp, along with the poking stick pins to hold the rollers in place. Multiple bobby pins were used to hold bangs in place. And did I mention I slept in these?! Morning started with the teasing(back-combing) process of every hair strand. Next came the rat-tail comb to coerce the teased mess into submission. Lastly was making the hairdo unmovable with multiple layers of eye watering Aqua Net hairspray. Was the pain worth the gain? Absolutely!! This 60's teen thought she looked amazing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691595812061-UCE2WP4LL2S5ZALZ8DZH/SallySchneiderDavisDadsHat%28A+MonochromaticMemory+-+Sally+Davis.JPG 2023 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Sally Schneider Davis, "Dad's Hat (A Monochromatic Memory)" 11"x14", Mixed media Audio Recording They say the good guys ride in wearing a white hat. For as long as I could remember, my Dad’s hat of choice was a white painters’ hat. It was chosen for its practicality, white reflected the sun and cotton allowed it to breathe. I have many childhood memories of my Dad working a field, tending animals, or fixing what needed fixing in his white hat. Whether at the farm or in a crowd, he was always easy to spot. Through the years, he wore many out. Mom bought them in bulk until they were discontinued. Then, much like my Dad who could seemingly fix anything, she went about mending the holes herself. The hat always hung on the back porch, and now it hangs in my memory. To me, the man in the hat represented the best of a fading generation. Certainly, one of the good guys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1693778268502-1TRQHBWCO4O8MVE6RDCZ/Sandi%2BGant%2B-%2BLiving%2Bin%2Bthe%2BPresent.jpg 2023 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Sandi Gant, "Living In The Present" 16x20 oil painting on canvas Audio Recording This is a painting of my daughter lying on a lounge chair reading a magazine. This painting expresses my feelings about something that happened April 20, 2010 here in Wichita Falls, Texas. On that day, a lone shooter entered her workplace, injured four people and later entered another workplace injuring another person who was not able to survive his injuries. The significance of this painting is that my daughter lost use of her right hand and ultimately her thumb. When I first painted it, I left the thumb off as this was a harsh reminder of that awful day, I ultimately decided to add her thumb to the painting. My daughter is not bothered at all about her loss. However, it still is a harsh reminder. This was one day that will forever be remembered by me and my family.

I realized I have no precious belongings or keepsakes of hers, and this thought saddened me as I knew generational poverty was to blame. Before I had even fully completed that train of thought though, I heard Mema's beautiful singing-- it was our song, the one she spent hours teaching me-- "Coat of Many Colors." The powerful lyrics rocked me as I recalled all the ways she has impacted me with her caring heart and boundless optimism. Ever encouraging of my imagination, she would even let me cut apart her magazines for dress-up dolls. This, along with a bucket of fabric scraps, inspired my technique. Through our song, I am reminded that I don't need a valuable memento to cherish her memory because she instilled lessons of love in me... and that's "worth more than all their clothes."

A car crash and Superman at 18 years old. A truck broadsided me with the power of a locomotive. My Superman keychain with me while I struggled to stay alive. The Honda took the hit but something else kept death from taking me. Was it the keychain? Were its powers absorbing the hit, holding the impact for me to survive? Weeks later, my parents rescued the keychain off the mangled dashboard. The Superman shield remains on my keychain. A reminder of my second chance on borrowed time with miles to go.

He was also very witty and fun. After his passing, I worked with my siblings to come up with some "Byronisms" and put them in an art piece for my family to enjoy. We laugh as we go through his quotes and the funny things that he said over a lifetime. What I hold dear as a memento from my father are his words.

The chicken is based on a design by Fortunato Depero from the Futurism movement of the early 1900s, which was marked by hatred for anything realistically represented. This idiom provides a glimpse into a language and culture and triggers a personal connection to my time viewing Ercolano and the chickens that we saw there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691595949377-SGSRYH5MOE4YYR121NU7/VonDickensUlsaOfKim+-+Von+Dickens+Abero+Ulsa.jpeg 2023 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Von Dickens Ulsa, "Of Kim" 18x24", Acrylic (Recycled, Metallic) Audio Recording Our friendship stemmed from Kim always encouraging me to reach higher and explore more, and this work depicts memories when Kim showed me how to live differently, apart from her undying encouragement to share my art with the world. The work depicts an art style Kim would’ve identified as my “style” while she was still alive. We hiked the treacherous and infamous Haiku Stairs and the difficult Koko Head (top and middle). At the bottom commemorates the last time we had hung out together, overlooking the crashing waves in the Spitting Caves of East Oahu.

La cabeza gigante de la escultura maya es una belleza antigua en piedra tallada cientos de años antes de que llegaran los conquistadores de España. Tengo recuerdos de viajes por carretera, sentada en sarapes y mantas en la playa y comiendo fruta fresca y ceviche. Tengo mi colcha favorita a la que llamo "colores colcha", el sombrero representa a mi abuelo, las orquídeas el sur de México. El mono me representa, aprendiendo tecnología. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691608613227-77NVVOHQNHNBQEV48E80/AudraMillerGenrationalTransformation+-+Audra+Miller.png 2023 MEMENTO gallery (spanish) - Audra Miller, "Generational Transformation" Hace unos meses, mi padre les regaló a mis hijas las sillas de su infancia y yo estaba encantada de renovarlas para su nuevo apartamento. No tengo ningún recuerdo de mi abuela que recuperó las sillas en los años 50, pero sí recuerdo a mi abuelo. ¡Su sonrisa era contagiosa y sus ojos bailaban! Mientras quitaba las tachuelas del respaldo de una silla, noté que la silla estaba unida con una caja de cereal de arroz de alrededor de 1953. Mi papá tendría 3 años. Imaginé a mi papá cuando era niño sentado en la pequeña y ordenada casa blanca con césped afelpado como una alfombra donde vivía mi abuelo. Me imaginé los pies infantiles de mi papá colgando de la silla compartiendo un tazón de cereal de arroz con su mamá, papá y hermanos. Un acto tan simple de modernizar una silla me llenó de recuerdos duraderos una vez compartidos y de los que vendrán.

Cuando nací, una interestatal atravesaba el centro de la ciudad y dejaba la Rt. 66 en el borde de la parte antigua de la ciudad. Conocido como Amarillo Boulevard, todavía había moteles, restaurantes, centros comerciales, que desplegaban letreros que a menudo eran grandes, eclécticos, pesados e individualizados, por lo que tenían una identidad. Cuando yo era niño, muchos de estos letreros mostraban los efectos de la negligencia y el mal estado. Como individuo, siempre me ha atraído la singularidad potencial de estos letreros, pero como artista me atrae el aspecto de diseño que tienen para ofrecer, así como las pátinas que sus pinturas, una vez prístinas, han desarrollado a partir de años de exposición a los elementos. Esta escultura es el resultado de años de observar y reflexionar sobre esta influencia y se relaciona con la palabra “Memento” porque se basa en referencias del pasado.

Un recuerdo de la vida puede ser el hilo de un recuerdo liberado por un toque, un olor o un objeto aleatorio de la vida diaria. Tales recuerdos llenan mi vida, la mayoría se remontan a mi padre, Dwight Wilkinson. Aunque tengo posesiones que una vez pertenecieron a mi difunto padre, lo que queda de él en mi vida son los intangibles. Si no fuera por su entusiasmo y aliento de mis talentos en el arte, tal vez no estaría donde estoy hoy. Fue responsable de las lecciones de arte, lecciones de música y cuentos para dormir que dieron forma a mi vida. Podía convertir cualquier parte de la vida diaria en una lección de ciencias; la relación de ácido y base, almidón a azúcar, una gota apestosa de agua de pantano formando equipo con la vida bajo un microscopio. Lo que no se puede sostener en mi mano se sostiene en mi corazón. Todos los recuerdos que se muestran aquí tienen un significado para mis recuerdos de él. Las figuras de pegamento maché representan el lado divertido, creativo y tonto de la vida que papá me transmitió. Dwight Wilkinson disfrutaría pararse frente a esta última creación mía y caminar por el camino de la memoria.

Un día nos encontramos con unas cataratas con una caída de 4 ó 5 pies. La fuerza me empujó debajo de un árbol caído. Con el árbol cruzando mi sección media, la poderosa corriente me envolvió alrededor del tronco como la letra "U", con mis brazos y piernas agitándose hacia la superficie. Con presencia de ánimo, bajé mis brazos hacia el árbol, empujé y salté a la superficie. Esta pieza es un recordatorio de ese evento y de cómo podría haber tenido un final diferente. Incorpora los elementos involucrados; El río (base), el árbol, la cámara de aire y yo, como los recuerdos de ese día, son a menudo revisitados.

Sus personajes planos nunca resonaron conmigo. Me encantaba la pesca y la navegación. Pasaba largas horas explorando el pantano con mi perro. Mi familia empujaba muñecas cada día festivo y cumpleaños. Destruí MUCHAS muñecas en "accidentes" durante mi infancia. Aprendí como padre que a veces lloramos a un niño que inventamos en nuestras mentes; mientras que un niño que vive y respira en nuestro hogar puede ser un completo extraño. A menudo me he sentido como una muñeca de papel. No ser visto como una persona tridimensional. Vestida como lo que la gente me quiere. A veces miro a mi alrededor y veo muchas muñecas de papel tratando de encajar también.

Todavía usaba una hielera y le entregaban hielo. Dormía en una vieja cama de cuerdas que había pertenecido a nuestra familia durante cinco generaciones (siete contando la mía). Y se reunía con sus amigas para hacer alfombras. Compartían retazos de ropa y pedazos de materiales. La abuela Goldie hizo alfombras con bolsas de pan de plástico para la puerta trasera del cuarto de barro. Guardaría las sábanas para alfombras más suaves y agradables que esparcía en toda la casa. Siempre estaba pensando en nuevas ideas para hacer alfombras. Murió en 1979. Su telar se encuentra en mi cocina junto con la hielera. Trabajando en el telar, me pregunto cuántas generaciones más disfrutarán de esta parte de la historia familiar.

No mucho después, él nos cargó en el auto para un viaje a campo traviesa hasta la casa de su madre. Todo estaba cambiando y no sabía cómo procesarlo. Nos alojábamos en moteles a lo largo del camino, uno de ellos era una pequeña cabaña. Mientras estábamos sentados allí, un olor extraño flotaba a través de la puerta mosquitera. Cuando le pregunté cuál era el nuevo olor, mi papá me dijo que era un zorrillo. Lo recuerdo como si fuera ayer. Sólo unos pocos años después, se casó con mi mamá para siempre y a mi nueva hermana también le gustaba ese olor. Hasta el día de hoy, cuando huelo un zorrillo, sonrío. Todavía amo ese olor y me siento cálida por dentro pensando en la alegría de tener una hermana y cuánto amo a mi difunto padre.

Este recuerdo trae un mar de imágenes, impresiones sensoriales y ecos de sentimientos pasados. Esta pintura es mi memento, un diario visual de un viaje turbulento a través del diagnóstico de un cáncer raro en mi esposo. Refleja incertidumbre, niebla mental, agotamiento y el ser arrojado en oleadas de cirugías insondables, tratamientos y la eventual muerte. El título, “The Parting”, cuenta la historia de la pérdida de un esposo, padre y cosas inconcebibles como la escuela, la iglesia y grupos de amigos. Al igual que la “separación del Mar Rojo”, también habla de milagros en forma de cuidado infantil prolongado, comidas y pago de mis facturas de hotel fuera del estado. Tanto las pérdidas como los milagros aportan una claridad reveladora a las amistades, y es algo que siempre será recordado.

Después de su fallecimiento y de que yo mismo me convirtiera en padre en 2016,heredé los dos. Solía sentarse en ese viejo escritorio y escuchar cualquier noticia nueva de mi vida universitaria mientras bebía su café. Ahora, tomo mi café de esa misma taza, mientras edito fotos en ese escritorio escuchando las ideas creativas de mi hija.

A pesar de lo estresado que me puso esa pandemia, siempre sentí que era mi trabajo como fotógrafo documentar cómo mi familia lidió con el estrés de ese año. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691608834407-5YURTSOHEQ6YKFC7SI2Q/DebbieMaestazMoodyBlues.jpg 2023 MEMENTO gallery (spanish) - Debbie Maestaz, "Mt. Scott-Moody Blues" Esta foto fue tomada el Día de Acción de Gracias de 2020. "Moody Blues" siempre me servirá como un recuerdo del invierno de 2020 y el final del primer año de una pandemia mundial. Un grupo de cuatro de nosotros partimos para explorar el Refugio de Vida Silvestre de Wichita Mountains y condujimos hasta la cima del Monte Scott para comenzar. Este árbol me llamó la atención, así que tomé una foto rápida después de un par de fotos grupales y justo antes de que volviéramos a bajar. Lo que no podíamos saber en ese momento era que nuestro grupo de cuatro perdería a un miembro de la familia por el virus solo días y semanas después de este viaje. Dos perderían a un padre, dos perderían a una tía y un tío. Verás, éramos dos pares de primos en estas vacaciones. Entonces las pérdidas fueron una experiencia compartida, como el viaje, algo que no se olvida. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691608847126-6LUDSTUD64CF36O4PDWB/GingerBollerOldHigh+-+Ginger+Art+Works.png 2023 MEMENTO gallery (spanish) - Ginger Boller, "Old High" En un pueblo hay memorias personales y memorias colectivas que crean sentido de pertenencia e identidad. Estos recuerdos conectan a las personas con la historia, los valores y el patrimonio de su ciudad, omentando el orgullo y la unidad. Los recuerdos colectivos evolucionan con el tiempo, añadiendo capas al tapiz histórico de la ciudad y dando forma a la comprensión del pasado y el presente de la comunidad. Considere esta escuela en Wichita Falls, construida en 1922. Mientras asistía a una escuela secundaria rival, mis abuelos y mi mamá fueron a estaescue la. Tengo recuerdos especiales de estar en este edificio para conciertos de bandas y coros. Aunque ya no se usará de la misma manera debido a la construcción de nuevas escuelas secundarias, sigue siendo parte de la historia de Wichita Falls, un recordatorio de que yo también estoy tejiendo en el tapiz de la ciudad. Este es un ejemplo de memoria colectiva y memoria personal conectadas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691608850145-S7X1NOOKFACUY65XPUYK/GingerBollerParisPerfume+-+Ginger+Art+Works.png 2023 MEMENTO gallery (spanish) - Ginger Boller, "Paris Perfume Bottles" En 1998, justo después de terminar la escuela secundaria, emprendí un viaje memorable a Europa. Mis compañeros de clase y yo exploramos cuatro países diferentes. Durante nuestro viaje, me propuse encontrar recuerdos únicos en cada lugar. En París, compré perfume, y hasta el día de hoy, todavía tengo los frascos. Tienen un significado especial para mí, me sirven como un recordatorio de ese extraordinario viaje lleno de gente maravillosa, comida deliciosa y una sensación de aventura sin preocupaciones. Aún si pudiera volver a visitar esos lugares exactos hoy, tanto yo como el mundo que me rodea hemos cambiado. Sin embargo, estos frascos de perfume me transportan en el tiempo, conectándome con esos momentos preciados y evocando la emoción que experimenté en ese entonces.

Ladrillos. Los ladrillos tienen masa. Como cuando me desperté de una colonoscopia para escuchar las palabras pesadas, "una masa cancerosa". yo tenía 38. Esposa, hija, madre de dos niños pequeños. Cuando me enteré de la noticia llevaba una camiseta con la primera escritura que memoricé. Salmo 91:4; "Él te cubrirá con Sus plumas, y debajo de Sus alas encontrarás refugio". Casi muero muchas veces ese año: de cáncer, una enfermedad rara, complicaciones de cirugías, virus recogidos cuando mi inmunidad estaba en un nivel bajo de "no salgas de tu casa". Oré el Salmo 91:4 en cada tratamiento. Llámame loca, pero seguí encontrando plumas, pájaros, mariposas cuando iba a recibir tratamiento. He estado libre de cáncer durante cuatro años, con seguimientos anuales de por vida. Sigo encontrando plumas. Mis recuerdos.

Al final terminé con una colección completa. Abrir la caja e inmediatamente ver los delicados rasgos de su rostro y manos, hasta el intrincado detalle del kimono que vestía. El arte de eso fue asombroso. Llegaron a ser las muñecas más hermosas que jamás había tenido. A lo largo de los años, he llegado a amarlas más y atesorar la memoria de cada una. Mientras las miro ahora, recuerdo su regalo de amor para mí. Y el placer que obtuvo al verme desempaquetar cada una. Siempre trató de hacer que mi hogar y mi vida fueran hermosos en todos los sentidos. Todas las muñecas Geisha guardan el recuerdo de la primera vez que las vi. Los actos de amor vienen en muchas formas diferentes. Debemos atesorar cada uno.

Representan tiempos y lugares, las vidas de las personas que los hacen, y capturan fragmentos de la vida. Todos tienen una colcha que alguien les ha dado. Estas mantas guardan el recuerdo del familiar que te las regaló. Mi bisabuela era una ávida fabricante de colchas. Estos edredones eran una mezcla de ropa vieja y tela de desecho. Cada vez que miro estas colchas, son un recuerdo de ella. En memoria de Granny Gee, elaboré una colcha de papel. Cada pedazo de papel fue hecho a mano por mí con papel reciclado, tal como ella usó telas recicladas. Las flores con incrustaciones imitan los patrones florales que mi abuela incorporó a sus edredones. Esta colcha es una representación visual de la calidez y el amor de mi abuela.

Mi clase de costura requería que tuviera un kit de costura. Renuente a agobiar a mis padres, me acerqué a mi maestra y le expliqué mi situación, asegurándole que pronto obtendría el kit a través de los ingresos por cuidar niños. Luego ella dijo en voz alta: "¿Qué pasa? ¿Hay demasiados niños en la familia?". En ese instante, mi mundo se derrumbó. La turbación, la humillación y la vergüenza se estrellaron contra mí como olas implacables del océano, mientras aguantaba en silencio, con los brazos cruzados y la mirada fija en el frente. Me tomó años aprender que no estamos definidos por las palabras de otra persona, y nuestro valor va mucho más allá de las limitaciones financieras o el tamaño de la familia. Creo que las personas que están heridas a menudo terminan lastimando a otros, y espero sinceramente que ella haya encontrado la curación de su dolor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1693774347697-GOHAKIP7U57721DQ6PCW/MarshaWright-ReevesTheLatchkeyKid%2B-%2BScott%2BReeves.jpg 2023 MEMENTO gallery (spanish) - Marsha Wright-Reeves, "The Latchkey Kid" En 1971, yo tenía nueve años, mi madre era madre soltera y trabajaba a veinte millas de casa.

Durante los siguientes dos años, me levanté, preparé el desayuno y el almuerzo, escogí mi ropa, cerré la casa con llave y luego fui en bicicleta a la escuela. Después de la escuela, llegué a casa y entré. En casa, calentaba la comida en la estufa, cocinaba cenas para la televisión en el horno, alimentaba a mi perro y hacía la tarea, todo por mi cuenta. Veía lo que quería en la televisión. ¡Me sentí mayor! Algunos días me sentía sola, pero aprendí lecciones de autosuficiencia que me ayudaron a convertirme en una persona más fuerte y madura.

Nunca hubiera soñado que antes de mi cuarto cumpleaños, mis padres, después de 17 años de casados, se divorciarían. Mi madre, mi hermana, mi carreta y yo nos mudaríamos a una casa propia, sin mi papá.

Estoy en la base aérea de Tan Son Nhut, Saigón, Vietnam del Sur, el 29 de abril de 1975. Durante la noche, el combate se desató en el perímetro de la base. A la luz del día, apoyo aéreo fue solicitado. Dos aviones de ataque y un avión de combate, rodaje y despegue. Sobre la zona de combate, atacan al enemigo. De repente, la cañonera es alcanzada por un misil disparado desde el hombro. El avión cuelga momentáneamente en el aire, congelado, flotando en el cielo. Luego, lentamente da una voltereta lateral y se cae. Estoy paralizado, mientras la cañonera choca, explota y una gran nube de humo se eleva hacia el cielo. Mis imágenes son un memento gráfico del sombrío costo humano de la guerra. La cañonera pertenecía a la Fuerza Aérea de Vietnam del Sur. El enemigo era el Ejército Comunista de Vietnam del Norte. Vietnam del Sur cayó ante los comunistas el 30 de abril de 1975. Su sacrificio desinteresado está grabado de forma indeleble en mi memoria y acecha en mis pesadillas. Cada abril, todavía estoy allí.

El abuelo estaba malhumorado, como tal vez puedas ver por el brillo en sus ojos. La abuela estaba más apagada, por eso me gusta tanto esta imagen de ella. A ella no le gustaba la foto que tomé y probablemente no le gustaría que la dibujara. Sin embargo, ella era divertida y amorosa y me gusta que pude ver este lado de ella. Empecé a pintar cajas de recuerdos en 2020. Son una forma tangible de encapsular a los que amo con lo que hago y mantenerlos cerca para siempre. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691609188507-R1MHT2P8W6HSWVER7AEF/RebeccaPrinceGus+-+Rebecca+Prince.jpg 2023 MEMENTO gallery (spanish) - Rebecca Prince, "Gus" Conoce a Gus, mi amado compañero para acurrucarme. Tuve algunos perros falderos a lo largo de los años, pero Gus era el mejor para abrazar. Casi lo único que podría alejarlo era si alguien más estaba comiendo queso. Amaba a la gente y era súper dulce con todos, pero mi regazo era su favorito. Cuando murió en 2016, se llevó una parte de mí con él. Siempre había querido pintar esta foto de él en mi regazo. Pasaron algunos años después de su muerte antes de que pudiera decidirme a hacerlo. Decidí que dibujarlo en una caja de recuerdos expresaría perfectamente cuánto significaba para mí. Sr. Gus... ido, pero no olvidado. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691609181960-KAYJQTWH52OALXWUBXQR/SageEdsallGrandmaandtheCows+-+Sage+Edsall.JPG 2023 MEMENTO gallery (spanish) - Sage Edsall, "Grandma and the Cows" Para mí, los recuerdos son mucho más que un momento en el que hacemos una pausa, miramos hacia atrás y sonreímos. Como artista, me siento obligado a preservar los recuerdos de la mejor manera que sé: recrearlos como arte que, con suerte, vivirá más que una foto guardada en una caja de zapatos. El pasado abril perdí a mi abuela. La foto de referencia que usé para esta pieza fue una de sus fotos que quedó acumulando polvo. Aunque el recuerdo en sí todavía está vivo para mí, sabía que necesitaba preservarlo para las generaciones futuras. Mientras recreaba este recuerdo en pintura, capa por capa, descubrí que mi proceso se convirtió en un reflejo simbólico de cómo se almacenan en mi mente los recuerdos de mi abuela, y comencé a revisar cada uno, permitiéndome pasar tiempo con ella. de la única manera que puedo ahora.

El proceso comenzó con rodillos de malla y alambre que estaban incrustados con cerdas que raspaban el cuero cabelludo, junto con pasadores para sujetar los rodillos en su lugar. Se usaron múltiples horquillas para mantener el flequillo en su lugar. ¿Y mencioné que dormí en estos? La mañana comenzó con el proceso de peinado (peinado hacia atrás) de cada mechón de cabello. Luego vino el peine de cola de rata para obligar al desastre a someterse. Por último, estaba haciendo el peinado inamovible con múltiples capas de laca Aqua Net para el cabello. ¿Valió la pena el dolor? ¡¡Absolutamente!! ¡Esta adolescente de los 60 pensó que se veía increíble! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691609240331-YP5IENU034OKPWAGFMXB/SallySchneiderDavisDadsHat%28A+MonochromaticMemory+-+Sally+Davis.JPG 2023 MEMENTO gallery (spanish) - Sally Schneider Davis, "Dad's Hat (A Monochromatic Memory)" Dicen que los tipos buenos llegan con un sombrero blanco. Desde que tengo memoria, el sombrero elegido por mi papá era un sombrero de pintor blanco. Fue elegido por su practicidad, el blanco reflejaba el sol y el algodón le permitía respirar. Tengo muchos recuerdos de la infancia, de mi papá trabajando en el campo, cuidando animales o arreglando lo que necesitaba arreglar en su sombrero blanco. Ya sea en la granja o entre la multitud, siempre era fácil de detectar. A través de los años, desgastó muchos. Mamá los compró a granel hasta que se descontinuaron. Luego, al igual que mi papá, que aparentemente podía arreglar cualquier cosa, ella misma se puso a reparar los agujeros. El sombrero siempre colgaba en el porche trasero, y ahora cuelga en mi memoria. Para mí, el hombre del sombrero representaba lo mejor de una generación que se desvanecía. Sin duda, uno de los buenos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1693777242275-6T1CB5PY8WQ6J8G45TD8/Sandi%2BGant%2B-%2BLiving%2Bin%2Bthe%2BPresent.jpg 2023 MEMENTO gallery (spanish) - Sandi Gant, "Living In The Present" Esta es una pintura de mi hija acostada en un sillón leyendo una revista. Esta pintura expresa mis sentimientos sobre algo que sucedió el 20 de abril de 2010 aquí en Wichita Falls, Texas. Ese día, un tirador solitario ingresó a su lugar de trabajo, hirió a cuatro personas y luego ingresó a otro lugar de trabajo hiriendo a otra persona que no pudo sobrevivir a sus heridas. El significado de esta pintura es que mi hija perdió el uso de su mano derecha y finalmente su pulgar. Cuando lo pinté por primera vez, dejé el pulgar fuera, ya que era un duro recordatorio de ese horrible día, finalmente decidí agregar su pulgar a la pintura. A mi hija no le molesta en absoluto su pérdida. Sin embargo, sigue siendo un duro recordatorio. Este fue un día que siempre será recordado por mí y mi familia.

Me di cuenta de que no tengo pertenencias preciosas ni recuerdos de ella, y este pensamiento me entristeció porque sabía que la culpa era de la pobreza generacional. Sin embargo, antes de haber terminado completamente ese hilo de pensamiento, escuché el hermoso canto de Mema, era nuestra canción, la que pasó horas enseñándome, "Coat of Many Colors". La poderosa letra me sacudió al recordar todas las formas en que ella me ha impactado con su corazón cariñoso y su optimismo ilimitado. Siempre alentando mi imaginación, incluso me dejaba cortar sus revistas para disfrazarme de muñecas. Esto, junto con un cubo de retazos de tela, inspiró mi técnica. A través de nuestra canción, recuerdo que no necesito un recuerdo valioso para atesorar su memoria porque ella me inculcó lecciones de amor... y eso "vale más que toda su ropa".

Un accidente de coche y Superman a los 18 años. Un camión me embistió con la fuerza de una locomotora. Mi llavero de Superman conmigo mientras luchaba por mantenerme con vida. El Honda recibió el golpe, pero algo más evitó que la muerte me llevara. ¿Era el llavero? ¿Estaban sus poderes absorbiendo el golpe, reteniendo el impacto para que yo sobreviviera? Semanas después, mis padres rescataron el llavero del tablero destrozado. El escudo de Superman permanece en mi llavero. Un recordatorio de mi segunda oportunidad, en tiempo prestado, con millas por recorrer.

Cada palo se convirtió en una espada brillante para vencer a los dragones del patio trasero. La piscina de la ciudad estaba repleta de monstruos marinos que custodiaban joyas hundidas. A medida que envejezco, una de mis mayores alegrías ha sido ver la misma emoción de la creación en mis propios hijos.

El pollo se basa en un diseño de Fortunato Depero del movimiento llamado futurismo de principios del siglo XX que estuvo marcado por el odio por cualquier cosa representada de manera realista. Este modismo brinda un vistazo a un idioma y una cultura, y desencadena una conexión personal con mi tiempo viendo a Ercolano y las gallinas que vimos allí. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1691624326915-DS0YQG42BCLSRJPR8NKK/VonDickensUlsaOfKim+-+Von+Dickens+Abero+Ulsa.jpeg 2023 MEMENTO gallery (spanish) - Von Dickens Ulsa, "Of Kim" Nuestra amistad nació de que Kim siempre me animó a llegar más alto y explorar más, y este trabajo muestra recuerdos de cuando Kim me mostró cómo vivir de manera diferente, además de su aliento eterno para compartir mi arte con el mundo. El trabajo representa un estilo de arte que Kim habría identificado como mi "estilo" mientras aún estaba viva. Hicimos una excursión por las traicioneras e infames Escaleras Haiku y el difícil Koko Head (arriba y en medio).

They were my escape from reality and typically of a happier flavor than the tumult of my early childhood. Looking back I can see the mark those left upon me and the conflicting messages I had to untangle later on. I didn’t question back then when I began to think that Jareth was trying to woo Sarah, that Phantom was better than Raol, and Captain Jack Sparrow offerred more than Will. The messages I was receiving in my home was skewing what I thought was a healthy and this led to a labyrinth of heartache that I had to untangle in my adult relationships. Now I see the Goblin King for what he is. A twisted memento of my childhood and an unsuitable partner. Sarah is pictured protecting her brother just as we should protect our children by choosing a good spouse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722044961330-HH2D94M7FDKVCGM1C8D1/AmarisGonzalesFebruary1%2C2023+-+Amaris+Gonzales.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Amaris Gonzales, “February 1, 2023” NFS, 11" x 16", Photography Archival Inkjet Print In this work, I photographed my rearview mirror that his photo hangs. With another message on how it hasn’t gotten better. Although a year and a half has gone by, I still find myself sitting in my car, with his favorite songs playing, I’ll sit and cry. My car became a personal and intimate part of where most of my mourning process happened over the past year. Now that I live almost 7 hours away from where he’s at rest, I feel that I can be in my car and take him on drives just like he did with me when he was alive just by having his photo in my car. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722044973767-Q1GIY1A6086VYRXE8I65/AngelinaSoto_Unmasked+-+angelina+soto.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Angelina Soto, “Unmasked” NFS, 20" x 24" x 1", oil on canvas Monsters in horror have always been depicted as scary because of their appearance. Growing up, monsters have always comforted me since I sympathized with their struggle to fit into society. This painting is my memento, a visual diary that explores my journey with unmasking my autism. Masking is a term in the autism spectrum where an individual hides aspects of themselves to fit in. When it comes to emotions, I often mask them by putting on a facade in front of others to appear socially acceptable. Much like monsters, mental health disorders remain to be stigmatized and labeled as abnormal. The title, “The Shadow Within”, tells a particular period in life in which the only way I felt release was when I was at home and had time to decompress overwhelming emotions that I experienced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722044985823-KMX13UNFL50G7II7QKWJ/Ash+Dovee+-+The+Koi+Pond.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Ash Dovee, “The Tranquility of Koi Ponds” $65, 11" x 14", acrylic PURCHASE The inspiration for this painting comes from a cherished memory of a close friends 12th birthday celebration. It was held at a really nice restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant was enchanted by a beautiful Koi pond. Which could be felt as we waited for our meals. A special surprise came when we were invited to feed the Koi. This experience stayed with me as a profound sense of calm in a very busy atmosphere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722474748032-8U4RW6WMYZAYKI3YGOLI/BCGilbertCokerWeldrite+1.png 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - B.C. Gilbert, “Coker Weldrite” NFS, 14" x 16", Mixed Media/Found Objects This manual receipt register came from the counter top of the welding repair shop that my father owned for 25 years named “Coker Weldrite” Mr. Coker was the man who had taught my grandfather to weld in the 1940’s when welders were needed to work in the shipyards during the war effort and my father had worked for him periodically as a youth. I spent a great deal of my childhood in this shop helping my father, particularly summers and Saturday mornings. When my father passed away, Coker Weldrite had been in business for 65 years. After his death, I sold off the equipment and cleaned up the place. As I took one last look around, I saw this register sitting on the counter next to the phone. I picked it up and took it with me as I walked out the door to leave, never to return. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722046327348-L4F396SMS1JRGG44RYI6/Bill%2BWhitley-Grass%252C%2BWater%2B%2526%2BCattle%2B-%2BBill%2BWhitley.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Bill Whitley, “Grass, Water & Cattle” $250, 11"x14", acrylic PURCHASE The mementos of my life can be summed up in the title. For generations, my families' foundation has been agriculture. My art, whether drawing, painting or sculpture reflects a life tied to the soil. A quote I recall "We take photos of that which we are afraid to lose". Memories are mementoes, recall of certain days, people, horses and cattle captured in the camara of the mind's eye. The grass before subdivisions, windmills before solar pumps and horned Hereford cow herds before the Angus. These are the mementos tied to grass, water and cattle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722474967990-2UWTJ20NIPR9GXGT6JZZ/Callie_Lawson_Summer_Time%2B1.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Callie Lawson, "Summer Time" $150, 8"x8", Mixed Media PURCHASE Recently, on a trip to Lubbock, I was instantly transported to my childhood by coming across stick candy, the colorful sugar candy that one would find at Cracker Barrel or an old-time general store. I fondly remember visiting the Ranching and Heritage Center with my mother and sister. We would always stop by the gift shop first, purchase a few stick candies to enjoy while we walked around the facilities, and learn more about the style of homes built in Texas in the 1800s. This piece is entitled “Summer Time.” Once we purchased our preferred candies, we made our way outside to walk the mile-long loop around several historic homes. I remember one time when my sister and I were playing on a hill there. An employee came up to us to tell us the hill was a haven for rattlesnakes and kindly suggested we stick to the path. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045039333-3NH5NFM9OMR3UWQGTG7J/Candice+Wilkinson+Roney+-+Salt+and+Pepper.JPG 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Candace Wilkinson-Roney, “Salt and Pepper-Simple Seasonings” $200, 20"X28" Mixed Media Collage of acrylic, watercolor, glue mache PURCHASE LThe fried chicken was crispy, and the pies were rockin’ good. Lola Burton knew her way around that kitchen in Emhouse, Texas. Cast iron skillets, Farberware pots, and a black enamel roasting pan turned out mouth-watering meals seasoned with salt, pepper, and lots of love. This is the kitchen where I learned to fry chicken and make pie crust. A table by the window looked out to the backyard and a water well, a remnant of the days before city water and indoor plumbing. Morning coffee with biscuits was special, as Lola fried bacon nearby. At noon, a sandwich with a plate of sliced tomatoes, purple onions, and cucumbers was enjoyed as we talked about her life in the house where she grew up and later raised a family. The salt and pepper shakers spoke of seasoning simple food from a humble cook. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722475003578-BA98FN1P1Z2G10VH7HLU/Carolynhainescelebration%2B1.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Carolyn Haines, “Celebration” $110, 8”x5”x9.5”, cardboard, food wrappers, and wire PURCHASE I started doing long distance bike rides after getting type 1 diabetes. Bike riding felt like freedom, flying, and fun after a lousy diagnosis. My bike rides are fueled by fruit strips and mini granola bars. The fruit strips treat low blood sugar, and granola bars treat low energy. They also keep the fear of low blood sugar at bay. I always have number goals for bike rides, both for distance and blood sugar. I always ride towards the numbers, even if I miss sometimes. I had the vision of a strawberry with legs riding a trike during a low blood sugar that I had while on a bike ride. I sometimes get strange images while my blood sugar is low, and often have a good chuckle about them later. I don’t celebrate the lows or the fear, but I do celebrate being able to manage my diabetes and bike rides. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045549974-6X5R5GRIYIZH5XERC3LO/CarlosFloresJr-%2BGeorge%2B-%2BCarlos%2BFlores.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Carlos Flores, Jr “George" $2500, 24" x 30", Acrylic Painting on canvas PURCHASE King George! The sweetest doberman anyone has ever met! He was the best dog with the most personality. He was my first dog. He was also a dog that everyone adored. You ask anyone in my neighborhood and they will tell you a specific memory or a specific moment that they had with him- all positive, all happy. He was beloved and he will always be missed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722475059839-MESUF8CI7UWFUTGAQDKB/CharlieRobertsMendingCicatrice%2B-%2BCha%2BSue.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Charlie Roberts, “Mending Cicatrice” $2,222, 28"x12"x0.75", Mixed Media PURCHASE In my teen years to mid-twenties, I developed a tendency to self-harm in the form of cutting when I couldn't handle my emotions. This piece, ‘Mending Cicatrice’, is a map of the physical momentos that I carry in the form of scars on my skin and experiences within my spirit, psychiatric medications I was on, and tools I used; formed on the quilt that hung on my wall when I was a child. ‘Mending Cicatrice’ also serves as a memento for all that I have overcome in no longer being a product of the environment I was raised in, and everything I did in my life as a reaction to that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722475203144-JBS36TRVIV3U9BRPAGD9/Cheryl%2BHazelton%2B-%2BHoneycomb%2B2.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Cheryl Hazelton, “Honeycomb” $150, 16"x18"x12", honeycomb and mixed media PUR CHASE Growing up in the country, I grew up without computers or cable, even air conditioning living in the south. Most of my time was spent outside. The best times were on my grandparents' farm. My grandfather kept bees. He would talk about the math an insect could compute without ever taken a class. I thought it mind boggling how much I wanted to be better, to be smarter, to fit in. In nature it doesn't matter and yet it flowed effortlessly. It has always baffled me how we can find something as beautiful as a honeycomb frightening, when nature is mastering perfection, and we are still learning the ropes. There's skilled math and art done by a being that only lives 23 days. When I work with bees, I remember those days and there's a peace knowing no matter how much my world is chaos, this other world exists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045086664-UQGNQ3N2Y3FWW8DRH0J5/Cindy+Kahler+ThomasTriumphant+-+Cindy+Thomas.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Cindy Kahler Thomas, "Triumphant" NFS 10"X12", Stained Glass Mosaic The three years before I turned 39 were the worst years of my life. I was fighting addiction and losing miserably. I had a preteen daughter that I was dragging through my bullshit, and was in a wretched relationship. I also was bipolar, and I learned the hard way that psych drugs and street drugs do not mix well. I was suicidal and in and out of a facility 5 times in the last year. I thought I could never recover, and that life was just going to suck me under. Out of concern for my little girl, I was able to get on the wagon once again, and began to live life pulling my daughter out of the muck with me. I married a loving husband and father and created this self-portrait called Triumphant. It represents hope, joy, recovery, and resilience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045107204-CA3Q434EK3A6JMC1E4OK/CollinBachmanOutOfTheFire+-+Collin+Bachman.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Collin Bachman, “Out of the Fire” $50, 8" x 10", Photograph PURCHASE I was taking a ceramics class during what would become a difficult time of my life. With a grandpa in the hospital and the creeping feelings of an existential crisis, the ceramics studio felt like a sort of refuge where I could focus on making and decorating bowls. A part of it is me living in the past, from when I was taking ceramics as a university class, but part of it is also wanting to tie that experience in with my life now. One of the unique firings we had at the time was to create raku ware. It was nice to be around my peers and the instructor while the instructor grabbed our glowing hot ceramics and put them in a metal trash can filled with sawdust. I did not feel as isolated as my classmates and I witnessed this process, marveling at the beautiful, shiny, not-food-safe results. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045441907-84E4EO451CDFXEFX6ZNH/DavidCannonMementoNori%2B-%2BDavid%2BCannon.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - David Cannon, “Memento Nori” $250, 10"x20", Acrylic on canvas PURCHASE What from my past inspires me? What moves me? What’s my memento? A small light from my dog’s collar. I could always find him in the darkness, the forest, the deep canyons, the rugged mountains. It kept him safe from everything, everything except cancer. I keep the light to remind me of him, to remind me of memento nori. We are all mortal, and we all must die. Riddick never stopped, never quit. He always took one more step…until he could step no more. I have painted many scenes from our adventures, but I never put him in there. He’s in the photo, but not in the painting. He’s in my heart, but no longer with me. The painting is missing him, just as I do. How do I go forward without him? “Just one more step” he whispers. Memento nori Riddick. I’ll see you soon, but not just yet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045120149-9JXQ446BCL3S9AE7PDS3/DevonieHutchinsonAnArtistsJourney+-+Devonie+Denice.jpeg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Devonie Hutchinson, “An Artist's Journey” $750, 24-1/4" x 5", Air Dry Clay & Copper Wire PURCHASE "Memento" is not just an artwork; it is a visual representation of my personal evolution and my commitment to embracing the freedom to create. Each element, from the air-dry clay to the copper branches and clay flowers, weaves together a narrative of resilience, growth, and self-acceptance. This piece stands as a testament to the power of authentic self-expression and the beauty of creating without the constraints of external approval. Through this journey, I have discovered that true artistic fulfillment lies in the courage to be oneself and to create unapologetically. This medium, often seen as unconventional or less prestigious, mirrors my struggle with societal expectations and the art world's pressure to conform to established norms. Choosing air-dry clay is a deliberate act of defiance, a statement that my worth as an artist is not determined by the medium I choose, but by the authenticity of my expression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045495380-VPE5ROIXBFBALLXMZBYD/GwendolynCooperOstensible%2B-%2BGwendolyn%2BCooper.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Gwendolyn Cooper, “Ostensible" $700, 22"x 18", oil on canvas framed PURCHASE The death of two family members, the start of the COVID pandemic, and struggling with agoraphobia pushed me to create “Ostensible” after a 3 year hiatus. Facing adversity throughout childhood made it difficult to build an identity, but creating art was my chance to do so. This painting played a part in discovering for myself what it meant to be an individual. Each item holds its own value to my life, but collectively tells a bigger story of introspection. My hope was to create an image of all that changed me, and how random or insignificant it can be to the outside perspective. I believe our randomness is what makes an individual and welcome you to ponder the little things that make you who you are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045152188-GEGW47L464B4SUOVVF3J/HALEY+RITTENBERRY+SUSPENDED+IN+THIS+DISASTER+-+Haley+Rittenberry.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Haley Rittenberry, “Suspended In This Disaster” 11"x14", watercolor on paper SOLD Throughout life, I've often found myself perceived as an object. I've been taken into the unkind hands of thoughtless sculptors who tried to mold me to fit their impulses and desires. Because of this, touch has often felt confining. As if I were at the mercy of a Shibari master, who, through manipulation and coercion, bound me to them in a tangle of hopelessness. But as I grow and develop healthier relationships, I now realize the transformative power inherent in touch. Changing perspective and seeing the beauty of binding, touch has evolved for me. Becoming a source of strength and profound understanding. Through art, I am reminded of this transformative journey. What once seemed restrictive has blossomed into something beautifully liberating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045162830-SHQN9TSC5QVHO9T5VRFA/Jeffrey+Mullin+-+Potential+Home+of+Jack+the+Ripper+-+smaller+file.png 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Jeffrey Mullin, “Potential home of Jack the Ripper” $200, 12"x15" (framed), Photography PURCHASE My First time in Europe included an intriguing Jack the Ripper tour around London. As we wandered through historic alleyways and heard sinister stories, the city's dark past came alive. A particularly Memorable moment was capturing a photograph of the Tower of London, a significant landmark with its own haunting history. This photo serves as a "Memento" of the tour, embodying the chilling theory that a royal might have committed the infamous crimes. The experience was both eerie and enlightening, offering a compelling glimpse into London's mysterious past, forever immortalized through my Tower of London snapshot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722475113437-3S8Z52Y74QLHK5V6PMHL/Joy%2BSouthFox%2B-%2BTears%2Bin%2BRain.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Joy South Fox, “Tears In Rain” 8"x16" acrylic paint on wood canvas SOLD Watching as the silver threads poured down from the sky, it felt as if the heavens were crying with me. I just buried my son that day. A child born to help so many. But, the loss was horrific. A child that loved roses, and we even planted a rose bush together the year before. One last rose bloomed, and it was for him. A rose blooming in early November, on the day I gave my son back to the Creator. It was a sign to me that he was safe now. The pain was gone. The host of Heaven was there to welcome him, and felt my pain as I said the last goodbye. The pain has eased over the years. And sometimes during a early November storm, I think about that day. I now just watch as the rain falls in those silver threads, and I can smile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722044996314-LLT58VTPB60JFWZOKWM2/Blackbird-KerriMullin+-+Kerri+Mullin.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Kerri Mullin, “Blackbird” NFS 20"x24", paper on panel Sydney and I bonded over a road trip, fueled by our shared love of Glee. We were finishing each other's sentences by the end of the ride, instantly inseparable. Our friendship felt eternal. But life had a different plan. Sydney's fight with cancer ended her journey too soon. This portrait captures her spirit. While everyone dined inside, Sydney ventured out to map our course. That was Sydney: fiercely caring, a natural leader, wise beyond her years, and the best friend anyone could ask for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045162940-H69BMZTZSVW6J4I8SNBS/KimBallesterosWestTexasDresser+-+Kim+Ballesteros.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Kim Ballesteros, “West Texas Dresser” $65, 8"x6.25"x1.75", Assemblage PURCHASE Most of my assemblages are homages to places I’ve been and loved. This particular piece entitled ‘West Texas Dresser’ is inspired by my first visit to Marathon, Texas. My husband and I made our way out there six years ago, and we couldn’t believe we’d never been before. Marathon got its name from Captain Albion Shepard in 1882 because the terrain reminded him of Greece (another favorite place of mine). I love an old Irish Dresser, so upon seeing this at our B&B I had to take a photo. It serves as the backdrop in a painted turquoise blue cigar box. I found the wood scrap on a walk there, and the plant is a treasured holiday ornament. The piece of blue tile is a treasure from Greece, and the thrifted ceramic coyote completes the West Texas vignette. What a magical place it is! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045361688-4UEWMZKEO3X431JGKUD2/_Thanatophobia_%2BKy%2BReitenour%2B%2B-%2BKylan%2BReitenour.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Ky Reitenour, “Thanatophobia” $200, 12"x16", Acrylic on canvas PURCHASE Thanatophobia, the extreme fear of death to the point that it affects everyday life. This piece serves as a memento to focus on life, not the fear of life ending. I find myself needing to remember that if I spend my entire life worrying about dying, I won't live my life I will just survive it. This means taking time to pause and appreciate moments as they happen, appreciate the air we breathe, the light we see, the shapes of the clouds on a windy gray day, the smell of rain in the air, and the birds singing on rooftops, all the way down to the grass under our feet, and the ground that brings the sweet serene green we call life. Life is sacred, not scary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045176564-1QIEJDX9TYPP1FEZC0GC/LelaWoods_Piece+of+Me++-+Lela+Woods.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Lela Woods, “Piece of me” $150, 16"x10", Acrylic paint PURCHASE A memento is being able have a physical representation of a moment/moments in time that we’d never want to forget. A memento for me is my musical instruments. They are a physical representation that remind me of how my love for music came about. Growing up listening to my grandma sing in the kitchen, watching VHS tapes of my grandpa playing guitar, and attending family cookouts that let the neighbors know the blues is alright are moment I’d never forget. When I pick up an instrument or hear a tune from the past those memories come rushing back instantly. Music doesn’t just connect my past to the my present, it’s what inspires the art I create and maybe one day that same art will be someone else’s memento. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045176160-QYNCBRV3V0Q8WA34CYDK/Marion+Helmick+-+The+Drill+Seargant.jpeg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Marion Helmick, “The Drill Sergeant” NFS, 12"x10"x17", mix media Drill Sergeant Larize, with his imposing figure and impeccable uniform, stood as a symbol of discipline and authority at Lackland Air Force Base. His boots struck the pavement with precision, echoing his thunderous orders to the recruits. Push-ups, sit-ups, and endless marching became our daily routine. We were no longer at summer camp; we were in the United States Air Force, where warriors were forged. But beyond the stern facade, glimpses of humanity emerged. During mail call, He would share stories—about being a single father, about his daughter. Sometimes, a package arrived, filled with sweet treats. He’d discreetly allow us to savor these forbidden delights, provided we disposed of the evidence. In those moments, he shed the drill instructor persona and stepped into the role of a caring individual. I later realized he was decompressing before he went home to his daughter. Sergeant Larize was more than a drill sergeant; he was a beacon of strength and humanity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045303011-10847XXCUV0V5D315UAG/27_Oliphant_Measure+Twice%2CCut+Once_+-+Natalie+Oliphant.jpeg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Natalie Oliphant, “Measure Twice, Cut Once” $1350, 23"x36", mixed media assemblage PURCHASE Diptychs are grand story tellers connecting two art pieces by a common theme. The message in this diptych contains sage advice from my dad. Measure twice, cut once. Taken literally, it is important to measure twice for accuracy before the cut is made. Figuratively, this advice causes me to take a step back before making a final decision that cannot be changed. I do not remember what my dad was building that day when he said, “Nat, always measure twice and cut once.” Fragments of memories are internal mementos stored in my mind. Found mementos are concrete pieces, gathered collectively, forming this piece titled, Measure Twice, Cut Once. My dad taught me many lessons in life. He was an artist, a life long learner and a lover of adventure. I celebrate his life with a dime on every art piece I create. Thank you Dad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045182450-M0Q5KB8IS86QI78HXN3M/Sally+Struck+-+Treasures+of+the+Tide.jpeg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Sally Struck, “Treasures of the Tide” NFS 20"x20" Assemblage It can be the simple things that help us through difficult times. In the early 70’s my military husband was sent to Thailand. I, as a young mother of a newborn and a 3-year old, stayed in the states. Though a joyful time with my small children, it was also a time of deep loneliness. My husband soon began sending me seashells from the Thailand beaches. Never having ventured far from north Texas at that time, I was fascinated by the diversity and colors of these ocean beauties. I would spend some of my free time polishing and perusing library books to identify them. This simple hobby helped me feel connected and eased the loneliness of an 18 month separation. I have kept most of the seashells through these many years and am happy to now have made this piece for others to enjoy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045189963-T0RLBW8FTPOO9W189YKF/Sandi+Gant-Green+Country.jpeg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Sandi Gant, “Green Country” $150, 11"x14", wooden mixed media PURCHASE Before our family moved to Wichita Falls, I spent my childhood and young adulthood in Tulsa Oklahoma. This area is called green country, and it lived up to its name. When summer holidays came around, we’d go to Grand Lake O’ The Cherokees which was a short drive from Tulsa. It’s a beautiful lake that flows across four counties. We excitedly waited for school to end and summer vacation to start. While the 46,500 acre lake boasts great fishing and family recreational activities, the dragonflies were the most memorable things I remember. There were lots of them flitting around the grassy fields. In addition to swimming and boating, we would sit on the shoreline and watch them for hours at a time. They are such fascinating creatures. Dragonflies are a big influence on my art. This creation brings those memories to light for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045188080-82HXPEGHSMVWBEBNURSI/SarahGriego12_35PMatThe+Burrito+Shop+-+Sarah+Griego.PNG 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Sarah Griego, "12:35 PM at The Burrito Shop" 14" x 18", Woodcut print SOLD "12:35 PM at The Burrito Shop" is a glimpse into a weekly Saturday afternoon routine. The Burrito Shop is our family business. My Grandma brought it to life and then passed it on to my Momma. We have all worked at the shop at one point in our lives and have contributed to the success and love it has in our community. As we grow older, we bring in partners and in-laws to work and eat. The image you see is our outsiders, our boys we have brought into our life, my Momma’s sons she never had. This piece is to represent those Saturdays at 12:35pm where we go to eat after closing, watch soccer games, joke around, and talk about plans for the day. Like our business, our family is expanding, adding new customers, and love for my family and The Burrito Shop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045235608-KFV2SKAS4ANDOVBNQHY3/SarahPippins_AGentleGuardian+-+Sarah+Pippins.png 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Sarah Pippins, “A Gentle Guardian” $300, 19.5x23.5 (with frame), Print with Frame PURCHASE Only another artist can understand the bittersweetness of letting your work go. I feel this especially with commissioned portraits; they must leave my hands while there is still paint on them, it seems. This one, though... hours upon hours I studied my subjects' intricate details; the girl and her dog. They challenged me professionally, but I soon saw their personalities bloom. I began to envision their stories in my mind's eye; an adventurous child with her gentle protector, distant, but ready to catch her. I was reminded of my own struggle as a mother, trying desperately to protect my adolescent children as they venture out, while giving them room to be independent. The time came, the work was complete, but I wanted a memento of all the lessons they taught me-- a print. Perhaps artists are not the only ones who understand the bittersweetness of letting go; all guardians do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045206785-PMHX3CE3DELHT2BIOEI3/SelenaMize_BeginAgain+-+Selena+Mize.jpeg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Selena Mize, “Begin Again” $650, 16"x20", Acrylic on panel PURCHASE I wasn’t interested in anything “girly” as a kid. In fact, I was the family tomboy because of my love of rollerblading and skateboarding. I was often the odd one out with the other girls in school as I seemed to be the only one who enjoyed these things. In order to fit in at school, I slowly gave up skating altogether. I used my passion for painting to echo my old childhood drawings full of scribbles, as well as my lifelong love for color. This artwork has reminded me to not give up on the things that bring you genuine joy. Working on this piece healed a part of my inner child that I didn’t know needed to be healed, and it has motivated me to start skating again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045229694-M2JEHGRLOAUCJ06Q2EB5/Selene+%28Bianka+Goco%29+-+Path+of+Mobility.jpeg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Selene (Bianka Goco), “Path of Mobility” $150, 18"x24", Ink pen PURCHASE Most able people don’t typically recognize the slight changes in architecture done to accommodate those with special needs. They don’t realize the ramp they walked makes it easier for a walker, the railed they used on the stairs stabilizes a cane user, the automatic button for doors holds it open for someone on crutches, or the elevator they wait on can take a someone in a wheelchair to the top floor. Unfortunately, places will be equipped with the bare minimum per ADA laws so now those people have to wait for their pathways to be cleared or have to go out of their way to find the right entrance that has the adaptations they need. This piece contains various types of mobility aids and common architecture to assist those users. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045233988-H690HQAIPQTU0W1TEJRN/Sherry+Searcy+Boogle+House+-+Cindy+Thomas.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Sherry Searcy, “Boogle House” $85, 8X18, Mixed Media PURCHASE This boogle house was created in memory of a longtime friend and fiber artist, Peggy Sexton. We met at a Texas Federation Conference and became instant friends. She was not only a dear friend, but an incredibly talented and innovative artist. She was a constant source of inspiration through the years. She shared her knowledge and materials freely. Each year we would collaborate on one project, passing it back and forth; each adding our own layer of design until one of us decided it was finished. This is the first boogle house (based on a children’s book) I have worked on since her death. I think she would be pleased with it. It contains pieces of her fabric. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045278711-839LK6RZ5TC46ITBKOC9/Simon+Welch_This+is+your+brain+on+alpha-synuclein+proteins+-+Simon+Welch.JPG 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Simon Welch, “This is your brain on alpha-synuclein proteins” $150, 8"x10"x2.5", Eggshell, Gold flake, & resin PURCHASE The first step to acceptance is alway denial. Denial that the off the wall comments and small forgetful spells were just a result of my mother’s age. Suddenly she forgot my father’s face, even believing him to be an intruder. I managed to keep my hopes up, as she always seemed to remember me. Almost always. Sometimes. Almost never. Watching my mother suffer through Alzheimer's has been difficult, as well as not really understanding how to communicate with her. I find myself angry at those that offer prayers, as if God will finally answer their prayer over all others for a cure. I bargain with friends not to ask about her, knowing that her condition can only worsen. I don’t know what the future will bring, but I know I love you Mom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045272695-RXE5JN6NDRDV0MLRZZFP/StacyTompkins+Swollen+-+Stacy+Tompkins.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Stacy Tompkins, “Swollen” NFS, 4.75"X6", acrylic yarn, human hair, paper In 2005, I was diagnosed with a rare genetic syndrome with the potential for many complications. The doctor suggested I research my family history to narrow down the list of pathologies to test for. I discovered that my rare syndrome affects both my matriarchal and patriarchal lineage. My mother, father, and both grandmothers had symptoms, and everyone of them had one diagnosis in common: Congestive Heart Failure. The matriarchs of my family are all gone, from heart issues, and my father is struggling to manage the condition. I am being tested for vascular issues as well. This piece represents our inheritance: the shared experience of a failing organ. The image of the heart, partially drawn in paper, is sewn in to hand-felted acrylic yarn using my hair as the thread. Each strand of my hair contains traits of each parent and it symbolizes our connection across time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045279408-ZIBWHSPQ4GKOKHP56PF8/Zachary+Nguyen-Moore+-+Saoirse.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) - Zachary Nguyen-Moore, “Saoirse” $1,000, 24"x 36", Mixed Media PURCHASE Fall 2023 marked my second semester returning to college 16 years after dropping out. Following a successful first semester I took on a hefty schedule, optimistically assuming I could manage the balance of work and school with responsible time management. Everything was going well until Covid finally got me, and it got me good. It was a rough recovery both physically and academically; I was bedridden for about a week and a half, and my energy reserves and mental clarity had all but disappeared. I fell behind and spiraled out of control until I completely shut down. Thankfully, I was under the dutiful watch of Saoirse, my cat/nurse/therapist/studio assistant/jester. Throughout the illness and recovery, Saoirse never left my side. A bed of chaotic, shredded trigonometry notes has been bashed and stitched back together with metallic gold embroidery floss, forming the base of this memento of Saoirse’s companionship through traumatic times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/6ed31ca1-cc45-4009-968a-ad78b5681470/2021+Memento.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (english) http://www.9thstreetstudios.com/imqueerandimhere daily 0.75 2024-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/b83bccd5-06b7-47ab-bd67-2bfa42266d11/2024+event+posters+%288+x+11+in%29+%2812%29.png I'mQueerAndI'mHere - Holly Ferguson (She/Her) Bio/Artist Statement: Holly Ferguson is a visual artist specializing in Painting. She holds a B.F.A. with an emphasis in painting and printmaking from Midwestern State University. Ferguson's practice explores psychological spaces, childhood nostalgia, and fantastical realism depicted in high chroma often including her self-portrait at different ages in her life. The imagery is created with both acrylic and oil paints on canvas.

Her work varies from alternative printing processes to archival inkjet. Her work focuses on race, gender, and sexuality in hopes that the work she produces will help others view the topic from a new angle. She picks these topics because she has dealt with hatred and cruelty towards being a Mexican lesbian woman. She has been judged for being different than everyone else. Due to the subject of her work, the viewer might feel shock, anger, sadness, or, in rare situations, understanding.

Although the majority of her artwork focuses on the portraitures of those who inspired her at the time, she has recently branched out by incorporating pop culture icons into recent works. By doing this, she has stepped outside her comfort zone to paint individuals whom she does not know personally. Selena has also started experimenting with smaller, monochromatic portraits to enhance her painting capabilities. Using the elements of art, she creates a playful composition surrounded by vivid color palettes and geometric forms that enhance the personality of each painting. No matter the size of her work, Selena's attention to detail shines as she captures her subject.

In their art, Koi aims to produce anime-inspired illustrations awash in vibrant hues. As an educator, Koi strives to foster an inclusive classroom where each student feels appreciated and empowered to flourish creatively, academically, and socially. Artist Statement: This series of artwork, titled "Connecting With The Body," delves into the complexities of maintaining a healthy relationship with one's own body. It explores themes such as eating disorders, mental health struggles, gender identity, and body image issues, shedding light on how these factors can impact both physical and mental well-being. Through my personal experiences as a queer black individual, the narrative of these pieces is uniquely shaped. While the imagery may not be universally relatable, there is a specific demographic that can find solace and connection in this series, using it as a means to confront their own personal challenges. What it means to be a queer Artist: Creating as a queer artist is akin to conjuring magic. I am aware that deviating from societal norms carries numerous challenges and potential dangers. However, embracing my true self and channeling it into my artwork allows me to feel truly understood by those within my community. Although it may occasionally isolate me as a creator, I believe the rewards of connecting with like-minded individuals make it all worthwhile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/82ee50b8-0408-48cf-ae69-9f9af562cf4d/2024+event+posters+%288+x+11+in%29+%2811%29.png I'mQueerAndI'mHere - Eboneigh Laurelle (They/Them) Bio/Artist Statement: Eboneigh (they/them) is a non-binary fiber artist (knitting, crochet, embroidery, etc.) originally from Fort Worth, TX and now living in Wichita Falls. They are heavily inspired by tarot, palmistry, and other ways that people make sense of, or story, themselves and the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/641bd969-9435-45f5-867e-5dc935a582f3/2024+event+posters+%288+x+11+in%29+%2814%29.png I'mQueerAndI'mHere - Zachary Nguyen-Moore (He/Him) Bio/Artist Statement: My art is a translation of the memories, inspirations, and obsessions stored in my mind, often focusing on the otherworldly aspects of queer nightlife. As a former drag queen, I have always had an appreciation for the art of glamour but am even more intrigued by the older generations of drag queens, trans entertainers, and other various nightlife personalities who had undergone sometimes questionable aesthetic enhancements. This series of multi-media masks explores that fascination. Whether painting, drawing, sculpting, costuming, interior design, cosmetic design, collage, or a mixture, I prefer to keep my process adventurous and full of new sensations. Short Paragraph of What it Means to be Queer: As queer individuals we owe nothing to the world. We should, however, heed a calling to share our perspective. So much ignorance regarding queer existence is due to a lack of exposure. To make true impact we must exist boldly and share without edit the countless facets of the queer experience, whether prideful, confident, ashamed, fearful, or mundane. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/d18e5ddb-c899-47d1-b26e-391f8b1bccd7/2024+event+posters+%288+x+11+in%29+%287%29.png I'mQueerAndI'mHere - Teonna Yvonne Belk (She/They) Bio/Artist Statement: Teonna Yvonne Belk, a multimedia artist residing in Wichita Falls, TX, explores a diverse array of artistic mediums, including photography, ceramic sculpture, and beyond.

Belk's artistic vision is driven by a desire to spark meaningful conversations and challenge entrenched societal norms. Through her work, she endeavors to foster openness and vulnerability, inviting viewers to engage with difficult topics and embrace dialogue. Drawing upon her education at Midwestern State University, much of her process and subject material reflects the technical skills and curriculum adhered through her schooling.

Eran mi vía de escape de la realidad y, por lo general, tenían un sabor más feliz que el tumulto de mi primera infancia. En retrospectiva, puedo ver la marca que me dejaron y los mensajes contradictorios que tuve que desenredar más adelante. No cuestioné en ese entonces cuando comencé a pensar que Jareth estaba tratando de cortejar a Sarah, que Phantom era mejor que Raol y que el Capitán Jack Sparrow ofrecía más que Will. Los mensajes que recibía en mi casa distorsionaban lo que pensaba que era saludable y esto me llevó a un laberinto de dolor que tuve que desenredar en mis relaciones adultas.

Ahora que vivo a casi 7 horas de donde él descansa, siento que puedo estar en mi auto y llevarlo a pasear como lo hacía conmigo cuando estaba vivo con solo tener su foto en mi auto. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342422586-30P4YT590BXSXOSRYDVP/AngelinaSoto_Unmasked+-+angelina+soto.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Angelina Soto, “Desenmascarado” NFS, 20" x 24" x 1", oil on canvas Los monstruos del horror siempre han sido representados como aterradores debido a su apariencia. Mientras crecía, los monstruos siempre me consolaron porque simpatizaba con su lucha por encajar en la sociedad. Esta pintura es mi recuerdo, un diario visual que explora mi viaje para desenmascarar mi autismo. Enmascarar es un término en el espectro del autismo en el que un individuo oculta aspectos de sí mismo para encajar. Cuando se trata de emociones, a menudo las enmascaro poniéndome una fachada delante de los demás para parecer socialmente aceptable. Al igual que los monstruos, los trastornos de salud mental siguen siendo estigmatizados y etiquetados como anormales. El título, “La sombra interior”, cuenta un período particular de la vida en el que la única forma en que me sentí liberado fue cuando estaba en casa y tuve tiempo de descomprimir las emociones abrumadoras que experimentaba. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342424423-V15Y62P7S775C4N4W7IB/Ash+Dovee+-+The+Koi+Pond.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Ash Dovee, “La tranquilidad de los estanques de Koi” $65, 11" x 14", acrylic BUY La inspiración para esta pintura proviene de un recuerdo preciado de la celebración del cumpleaños número 12 de un amigo cercano. Se celebró en un restaurante realmente bonito. El ambiente del restaurante era encantador con un hermoso estanque Koi. Lo cual se podía sentir mientras esperábamos nuestra comida. Una sorpresa especial llegó cuando nos invitaron a alimentar a los Koi. Esta experiencia se quedó conmigo como una profunda sensación de calma en una atmósfera muy ocupada. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1724201588410-D3KAL04UU49D6EN44T13/BCGilbertCokerWeldrite+1.png 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - B.C. Gilbert, “Soldadura Coker” NFS, 14" x 16", Mixed Media/Found Objects Este registro de recibos manual provino del mostrador del taller de reparación de soldadura que mi padre tuvo durante 25 años llamado "Coker Weldrite". El Sr. Coker fue el hombre que le enseñó a mi abuelo a soldar en la década de 1940, cuando se necesitaban soldadores para trabajar en los astilleros durante el esfuerzo bélico y mi padre había trabajado para él periódicamente cuando era joven. Pasé gran parte de mi infancia en esta tienda ayudando a mi padre, sobre todo los veranos y los sábados por la mañana. Cuando mi padre falleció, Coker Weldrite llevaba 65 años en el negocio. Después de su muerte, vendí el equipo y limpié el lugar. Mientras echaba un último vistazo a mi alrededor, vi esta caja registradora en el mostrador junto al teléfono. La recogí y la llevé conmigo mientras salía por la puerta para irme y no volver nunca más. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722046327348-L4F396SMS1JRGG44RYI6/Bill%2BWhitley-Grass%252C%2BWater%2B%2526%2BCattle%2B-%2BBill%2BWhitley.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Bill Whitley, “Hierba, agua & ganado" $250, 11"x14", acrylic BUY Los recuerdos de mi vida se pueden resumir en el título. Durante generaciones, la base de mi familia ha sido la agricultura. Mi arte, ya sea dibujo, pintura o escultura refleja una vida ligada al suelo. Recuerdo una cita: "Tomamos fotos de aquello que tenemos miedo de perder". Los recuerdos son recuerdos, recuerdos de ciertos días, personas, caballos y ganado capturados en la cámara del ojo de la mente. La hierba antes de las subdivisiones, los molinos de viento antes de los surtidores solares y los rebaños de vacas Hereford con cuernos antes que el Angus. Estos son los recuerdos ligados a la hierba, el agua y el ganado. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1724201588308-Y1OV28CDLV9K69VQ03ZF/Callie_Lawson_Summer_Time+1.png 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Callie Lawson, "Tiempo de verano" $150, 8"x8", Mixed Media BUY Recientemente, en un viaje a Lubbock, me sentí transportada instantáneamente a mi infancia al encontrarme con caramelos en barra, los coloridos caramelos de azúcar que uno podía encontrar en Cracker Barrel o en una tienda de artículos generales de antaño. Recuerdo con cariño haber visitado el Ranching and Heritage Center con mi madre y mi hermana. Siempre pasábamos primero por la tienda de regalos, comprábamos algunos caramelos para disfrutar mientras caminábamos por las instalaciones y aprendíamos más sobre el estilo de las casas construidas en Texas en el siglo XIX. Esta pieza se titula “Horario de verano”. Una vez que compramos nuestros dulces preferidos, salimos para caminar el circuito de una milla de largo alrededor de varias casas históricas. Recuerdo una vez que mi hermana y yo estábamos jugando allí en una colina. Un empleado se acercó a nosotros para decirnos que la colina era un refugio para las serpientes de cascabel y amablemente nos sugirió que siguiéramos el camino. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342454157-6593D65BVWA10AURGX51/Candice+Wilkinson+Roney+-+Salt+and+Pepper.JPG 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Candace Wilkinson-Roney, “Sal y pimienta, condimentos simples” $200, 20"X28" Mixed Media Collage of acrylic, watercolor, glue mache BUY El pollo frito estaba crujiente y los pasteles estaban deliciosos. Lola Burton conocía bien esa cocina en Emhouse, Texas. Sartenes de hierro fundido, ollas Farberware y una fuente para asar de esmalte negro resultaron en comidas deliciosas sazonadas con sal, pimienta y mucho amor. Esta es la cocina donde aprendí a freír pollo y hacer masa para tarta. Una mesa junto a la ventana daba al patio trasero y a un pozo de agua, un vestigio de los días de antes del agua de la ciudad y de las tuberías interiores. El café de la mañana con galletas era especial, pues Lola freía el tocino cerca. Al mediodía, se disfrutaba de un sándwich con un plato de tomates en rodajas, cebollas moradas y pepinos, mientras hablábamos de su vida en la casa donde creció y luego formó una familia. Los saleros y pimenteros hablaban de condimentar la comida sencilla de una humilde cocinera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342761866-UKNY4CUKPPR12EWS2B97/CarlosFloresJr-%2BGeorge%2B-%2BCarlos%2BFlores.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Carlos Flores, Jr “Jorge" $2500, 24" x 30", Acrylic Painting on canvas BUY ¡Rey Jorge! ¡El dóberman más dulce que jamás haya conocido! Era el mejor perro con la mayor personalidad. Fue mi primer perro. También era un perro que todos adoraban. Le preguntas a cualquier persona de mi barrio y te contará un recuerdo concreto, o un momento concreto, que tuvo con él, todo positivo, todo feliz. Era amado y siempre lo extrañaremos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1724201589719-G5XD2ICYPPSYT0H8U2Z6/Carolynhainescelebration+1.png 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Carolyn Haines, “Celebración” $110, 8”x5”x9.5”, cardboard, food wrappers, and wire BUY Comencé a hacer paseos en bicicleta de larga distancia después de tener diabetes tipo 1. Andar en bicicleta se sentía como libertad, vuelo y diversión después de un pésimo diagnóstico. Mis paseos en bicicleta se alimentan de tiras de fruta y mini barras de granola. Las tiras de fruta tratan los niveles bajos de azúcar en sangre y las barras de granola tratan los niveles bajos de energía. También mantienen a raya el miedo a un nivel bajo de azúcar en la sangre. Siempre tengo objetivos numéricos para los paseos en bicicleta, tanto de distancia como de azúcar en la sangre. Siempre conduzco hacia los números, incluso si a veces fallo. Tuve la visión de una fresa con patas montando un triciclo durante un nivel bajo de azúcar en la sangre que tuve mientras andaba en bicicleta. A veces tengo imágenes extrañas cuando mi nivel de azúcar en la sangre es bajo y, a menudo, me río de ellas más tarde. No celebro las depresiones ni el miedo, pero sí celebro poder controlar mi diabetes y los paseos en bicicleta. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342497620-QZUQOK0129Y3ZD4IN4SO/CharlieRobertsMendingCicatrice+-+Cha+Sue.JPEG 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Charlie Roberts, “Arreglando cicatrices” $2,222, 28"x12"x0.75", Mixed Media BUY Desde mi adolescencia hasta mediados de los veinte, desarrollé una tendencia a autolesionarme mediante cortes cuando no podía manejar mis emociones. Esta pieza, 'Arreglando cicatrices', es un mapa de los momentos físicos que llevo en forma de cicatrices en mi piel y experiencias dentro de mi espíritu, medicamentos psiquiátricos que tomé y herramientas que usé. Se formó en la colcha que colgaba de mi pared cuando era niño. 'Mending Cicatrice' también sirve como recuerdo de todo lo que he superado al dejar de ser producto del entorno en el que crecí y de todo lo que hice en mi vida como reacción a eso. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722046375152-WHPMI33TDRYRNO78AAQH/Cheryl+Hazelton+-+Honeycomb+2.png 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Cheryl Hazelton, “Panal” $150, 16"x18"x12", honeycomb and mixed media BUY Al crecer en el campo, crecí sin computadoras ni cable, ni siquiera aire acondicionado, a pesar de vivir en el sur. La mayor parte de mi tiempo lo pasaba afuera. Los mejores tiempos fueron en la finca de mis abuelos. Mi abuelo criaba abejas. Hablaba de las matemáticas que un insecto podía calcular sin siquiera haber tomado una clase. Pensé que era alucinante y quería ser mejor, ser más inteligente, encajar. En la naturaleza eso no importa y, sin embargo, fluye sin esfuerzo. Siempre me ha desconcertado cómo podemos encontrar algo tan hermoso como un panal, aterrador, cuando la naturaleza domina la perfección y nosotros todavía estamos en la fase de aprendizaje. Hay matemáticas y arte hábiles realizados por un ser que solo vive 23 días. Cuando trabajo con abejas, recuerdo esos días y hay una paz al saber que no importa cuán caótico es mi mundo, este otro mundo existe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342500785-IB7JOJ0F4A7Z9OJHDAIP/Cindy+Kahler+ThomasTriumphant+-+Cindy+Thomas.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Cindy Kahler Thomas, "Triunfante" NFS 10"X12", Stained Glass Mosaic Los tres años antes de cumplir 39 fueron los peores años de mi vida. Estaba luchando contra la adicción y perdiendo miserablemente. Tenía una hija preadolescente a la que arrastraba con mis tonterías y estaba en una relación miserable. También era bipolar y aprendí por las malas que las drogas psiquiátricas y las drogas ilícitas no se combinan bien. Tuve tendencias suicidas y entré y salí de un centro 5 veces durante el último año. Pensé que nunca podría recuperarme y que la vida simplemente me iba a absorber. Preocupada por mi pequeña, pude subirme al carro una vez más y comencé a vivir la vida sacando a mi hija del lodo conmigo. Me casé con un esposo y padre amoroso y cre este autorretrato llamado Triunfante. Representa esperanza, alegría, recuperación y resiliencia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342504280-R02F6UXRW4VEN2ALGTW4/CollinBachmanOutOfTheFire+-+Collin+Bachman.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Collin Bachman, “Fuera del fuego” $50, 8" x 10", Photograph BUY Estaba tomando una clase de cerámica durante lo que se convertiría en un momento difícil de mi vida. Con un abuelo en el hospital y los inquietantes sentimientos de una crisis existencial, el estudio de cerámica se sentía como una especie de refugio donde podía concentrarme en hacer y decorar cuencos. En parte era por vivir en el pasado, cuando tomaba cerámica como clase universitaria, pero en parte también era por querer vincular esa experiencia con mi vida presente. Uno de los fuegos únicos que tuvimos en ese momento fue crear artículos de raku. Era agradable estar cerca de mis compañeros y del instructor mientras el instructor tomaba nuestras cerámicas calientes y brillantes y las ponía en un bote de basura de metal lleno de aserrín. No me sentí tan aislada como mis compañeros de clase y fui testigo de este proceso, maravillándome de los resultados hermosos, brillantes y no seguros para los alimentos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045441907-84E4EO451CDFXEFX6ZNH/DavidCannonMementoNori%2B-%2BDavid%2BCannon.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - David Cannon, “Memento Nori” $250, 10"x20", Acrylic on canvas BUY ¿Qué me inspira de mi pasado? ¿Qué me mueve? ¿Cuál es mi recuerdo? Una pequeña luz del collar de mi perro. Siempre pude encontrarlo en la oscuridad, el bosque, los profundos cañones, las escarpadas montañas. Lo mantuvo a salvo de todo, de todo menos del cáncer. Mantengo la luz para acordarme de él, para recordar a memento nori. Todos somos mortales y todos debemos morir. Riddick nunca se detuvo, nunca se rindió. Siempre daba un paso más... hasta que ya no podía dar más. He pintado muchas escenas de nuestras aventuras, pero nunca lo puse allí. Está en la foto, pero no en el cuadro. Él está en mi corazón, pero ya no conmigo. El cuadro lo extraña, igual que yo. ¿Cómo sigo adelante sin él? “Sólo un paso más”, susurra. Memento nori Riddick. Te veré pronto, pero todavía no. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1724211128841-P14AH9YC4IMQOPKGV4M5/DevonieHutchinsonAnArtistsJourney+-+Devonie+Denice.jpeg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Devonie Hutchinson, “El viaje de un artista” $750, 24-1/4" x 5", Air Dry Clay & Copper Wire BUY "Memento" no es sólo una obra de arte; es una representación visual de mi evolución personal y mi compromiso de abrazar la libertad de crear. Cada elemento, desde la arcilla secada al aire hasta las ramas de cobre y las flores de arcilla, entreteje una narrativa de resiliencia, crecimiento y autoaceptación. Esta pieza es un testimonio del poder de la auténtica autoexpresión y la belleza de crear sin las limitaciones de la aprobación externa. A través de este viaje, descubrí que la verdadera realización artística radica en el coraje de ser uno mismo y crear sin pedir disculpas. Este medio, a menudo visto como poco convencional o menos prestigioso, refleja mi lucha con las expectativas sociales y la presión del mundo del arte para ajustarme a las normas establecidas. Elegir arcilla secada al aire es un acto deliberado de desafío, una declaración de que mi valor como artista no está determinado por el medio que elijo, sino por la autenticidad de mi expresión. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045495380-VPE5ROIXBFBALLXMZBYD/GwendolynCooperOstensible%2B-%2BGwendolyn%2BCooper.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Gwendolyn Cooper, “Ostensible" $700, 22"x 18", oil on canvas framed BUY La muerte de dos miembros de mi familia, el inicio de la pandemia de COVID y la lucha contra la agorafobia me empujaron a crear “Ostensible” después de una pausa de 3 años. Enfrentar la adversidad durante la niñez hizo difícil construir una identidad, pero crear arte fue mi oportunidad de hacerlo. Esta pintura contribuyó a descubrir por mí misma lo que significaba ser un individuo. Cada elemento tiene su propio valor para mi vida, pero en conjunto cuenta una historia más amplia de introspección. Mi esperanza era crear una imagen de todo lo que me cambió y de lo aleatorio o insignificante que puede ser desde la perspectiva exterior. Creo que nuestra aleatoriedad es lo que hace a un individuo y te invito a reflexionar sobre las pequeñas cosas que te hacen ser quién eres. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342531737-B1ZAC1RSOXX4GZQP29FS/HALEY+RITTENBERRY+SUSPENDED+IN+THIS+DISASTER+-+Haley+Rittenberry.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Haley Rittenberry, “Suspendida en este desastre” 11"x14", watercolor on paper SOLD A lo largo de mi vida, a menudo me he visto percibida como un objeto. Me pusieron en manos crueles de escultores irreflexivos que intentaron moldearme para adaptarme a sus impulsos y deseos. Debido a esto, el tacto a menudo se ha sentido limitante. Como si estuviera a merced de un maestro de Shibari que, mediante manipulación y coerción, me ató a ellos en una maraña de desesperanza. Pero a medida que crezco y desarrollo relaciones más saludables, ahora me doy cuenta del poder transformador inherente al contacto. Al cambiar de perspectiva y ver la belleza del contrato, el tacto ha evolucionado para mí. Convertirse en una fuente de fortaleza y comprensión profunda. A través del arte, recuerdo este viaje transformador. Lo que alguna vez pareció restrictivo se ha convertido en algo maravillosamente liberador https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342534385-WTL7242T7QRKTAVRSAT0/Jeffrey+Mullin+-+Potential+Home+of+Jack+the+Ripper+-+smaller+file.png 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Jeffrey Mullin, “Posible hogar de Jack el Destripador” $200, 12"x15" (framed), Photography BUY Mi primera vez en Europa incluyó una intrigante gira de Jack el Destripador por Londres. Mientras deambulábamos por callejones históricos y escuchábamos historias siniestras, el oscuro pasado de la ciudad cobró vida. Un momento particularmente memorable fue capturar una fotografía de la Torre de Londres, un hito importante con su propia historia inquietante. Esta foto sirve como "Recuerdo" de la gira y encarna la escalofriante teoría de que un miembro de la realeza podría haber cometido los infames crímenes. La experiencia fue a la vez inquietante y esclarecedora, y ofreció una visión convincente del misterioso pasado de Londres, inmortalizado para siempre a través de mi instantánea de la Torre de Londres. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722475113437-3S8Z52Y74QLHK5V6PMHL/Joy%2BSouthFox%2B-%2BTears%2Bin%2BRain.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Joy South Fox, “Lágrimas en la lluvia” 8"x16" acrylic paint on wood canvas SOLD Al observar cómo los hilos plateados caían del cielo, sentí como si los cielos lloraran conmigo. Acababa de enterrar a mi hijo ese día. Un niño nacido para ayudar a tantos. Pero la pérdida fue horrible. Un niño que amaba las rosas, e incluso plantamos juntos un rosal el año anterior. Una última rosa floreció y fue para él. Una rosa que floreció a principios de noviembre, el día en que entregué a mi hijo al Creador. Fue una señal para mí de que ahora estaba seguro. El dolor había desaparecido. Los anfitriones del Cielo estaban allí para darle la bienvenida y sintieron mi dolor al decirle el último adiós. El dolor ha disminuido con los años. Y a veces, durante una tormenta de principios de noviembre, pienso en ese día. Ahora solo miro cómo la lluvia cae en esos hilos plateados y puedo sonreír. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342429778-HE9GYEXVSPN86D4UYCQG/Blackbird-KerriMullin+-+Kerri+Mullin.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Kerri Mullin, “Pájaro negro” NFS 20"x24", paper on panel Sydney y yo nos unimos durante un viaje por carretera, impulsado por nuestro amor compartido por Glee. Estábamos terminando las frases de la otra al final del viaje, instantáneamente inseparables. Nuestra amistad se sintió eterna. Pero la vida tenía un plan diferente. La lucha de Sydney contra el cáncer puso fin a su viaje demasiado pronto. Este retrato captura su espíritu. Mientras todos cenaban adentro, Sydney se aventuró a trazar nuestro rumbo. Así era Sydney: ferozmente cariñosa, una líder natural, sabia para su edad y la mejor amiga que cualquiera podría pedir. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342538154-20R03AXABLLGGPJ8VYR8/KimBallesterosWestTexasDresser+-+Kim+Ballesteros.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Kim Ballesteros, “Cómoda del oeste de Texas” $65, 8"x6.25"x1.75", Assemblage BUY La mayoría de mis ensamblajes son homenajes a lugares en los que he estado y he amado. Esta pieza en particular titulada "West Texas Dresser" está inspirada en mi primera visita a Marathon, Texas. Mi esposo y yo llegamos allí hace seis años y no podíamos creer que nunca habíamos estado ahí antes. Marathon recibió su nombre del Capitán Albion Shepard en 1882 porque el terreno le recordaba a Grecia (otro de mis lugares favoritos). Me encanta una vieja cómoda irlandesa, así que al verla en nuestro B&B tuve que tomar una foto. Sirve como telón de fondo en una caja de cigarros pintada de azul turquesa. Encontré los restos de madera en un paseo por allí, y la planta es un adorno navideño preciado. La pieza de azulejo azul es un tesoro de Grecia, y el coyote de cerámica de segunda mano completa la viñeta del oeste de Texas. ¡Qué lugar tan mágico! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1722045361688-4UEWMZKEO3X431JGKUD2/_Thanatophobia_%2BKy%2BReitenour%2B%2B-%2BKylan%2BReitenour.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Ky Reitenour, “Tanatofobia” $200, 12"x16", Acrylic on canvas BUY Tanatofobia, el miedo extremo a la muerte hasta el punto de afectar la vida cotidiana. Esta pieza sirve como recuerdo para centrarse en la vida, no en el miedo a que termine. Necesito recordar que si paso toda mi vida preocupándome por morir, no viviré mi vida, simplemente sobreviviré. Esto significa tomarse el tiempo para hacer una pausa y apreciar los momentos a medida que suceden, apreciar el aire que respiramos, la luz que vemos, las formas de las nubes en un día gris y ventoso, el olor de la lluvia en el aire y los pájaros cantando en los tejados hasta llegar a la hierba bajo nuestros pies y al suelo que trae el dulce y sereno verde que llamamos vida. La vida es sagrada, no da miedo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342541682-I48OCBK75387JUIM1QUQ/LelaWoods_Piece+of+Me++-+Lela+Woods.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Lela Woods, “Un pedazo de mí” $150, 16x10, Acrylic paint.

Son una representación física que me recuerda cómo surgió mi amor por la música. Crecer escuchando a mi abuela cantar en la cocina, ver cintas VHS de mi abuelo tocando la guitarra y asistir a comidas familiares al aire libre que les permitían a los vecinos saber que el blues está bien son momentos que nunca olvidaré. Cuando tomo un instrumento o escucho una melodía del pasado, esos recuerdos regresan instantáneamente. La música no solo conecta mi pasado con mi presente, es lo que inspira el arte que creo y tal vez algún día ese mismo arte sea el recuerdo de otra persona. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342543503-6HUP46AP6FR63MYBIBDA/Marion+Helmick+-+The+Drill+Seargant.jpeg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Marion Helmick, “The Drill Sergeant” NFS, 12"x10"x17", mix media El sargento instructor Larize, con su imponente figura y su impecable uniforme, se erigió como símbolo de disciplina y autoridad en la Base de la Fuerza Aérea Lackland. Sus botas golpearon el pavimento con precisión, haciendo eco de sus atronadoras órdenes a los reclutas. Las flexiones, los abdominales y las marchas interminables se convirtieron en nuestra rutina diaria. Ya no estábamos en el campamento de verano; estábamos en la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos, donde se forjaban los guerreros. Pero más allá de la fachada severa, surgieron destellos de humanidad. Durante la llamada del correo, compartía historias -sobre ser padre soltero, sobre su hija. A veces llegaba un paquete lleno de dulces. Discretamente nos permitiría saborear estos placeres prohibidos, siempre que nos deshiciésemos de las pruebas. En esos momentos, se deshizo de la personalidad de instructor y asumió el papel de una persona solidaria. Más tarde me di cuenta de que se estaba relajando antes de regresar a casa con su hija. El sargento Larize era más que un sargento instructor; era un faro de fuerza y humanidad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342414344-YAYYRNPH8MUA3L8H6EVW/27_Oliphant_Measure+Twice%2CCut+Once_+-+Natalie+Oliphant.jpeg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Natalie Oliphant, “Mide dos veces, corta una vez” $1350, 23"x36", mixed media assemblage BUY Los dípticos son grandes narradores de historias que conectan dos obras de arte con un tema común. El mensaje de este díptico contiene sabios consejos de mi padre. Mida dos veces, corte una vez. Tomado literalmente, es importante medir dos veces para comprobar la precisión antes de realizar el corte. En sentido figurado, este consejo me hace dar un paso atrás antes de tomar una decisión final que no se puede cambiar. No recuerdo qué estaba construyendo mi papá ese día cuando dijo: “Nat, siempre mide dos veces y corta una vez”. Los fragmentos de recuerdos son recuerdos internos almacenados en mi mente. Los recuerdos encontrados son piezas concretas, reunidas colectivamente, formando esta pieza titulada Mida dos veces, corte una vez. Mi papá me enseñó muchas lecciones en la vida. Fue un artista, un aprendiz de toda la vida y un amante de la aventura. Celebro su vida con un centavo en cada obra de arte que creo.

A principios de los años 70, enviaron a mi marido militar a Tailandia. Yo, como joven madre de un recién nacido y un niño de 3 años, me quedé en Estados Unidos. Aunque fue un momento de alegría con mis hijos pequeños, también fue un momento de profunda soledad. Mi marido pronto empezó a enviarme conchas marinas desde las playas de Tailandia. Como nunca me había aventurado lejos del norte de Texas en ese momento, estaba fascinada por la diversidad y los colores de estas bellezas del océano. Pasaría parte de mi tiempo libre puliendo y examinando libros de la biblioteca para identificarlos. Este simple pasatiempo me ayudó a sentirme conectada y alivió la soledad de una separación de 18 meses. He conservado la mayoría de las conchas marinas a lo largo de todos estos años y estoy feliz de haber hecho esta pieza para que otros la disfruten. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342551970-QO1X1VLVNF0LLAWD6AKS/Sandi+Gant-Green+Country.jpeg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Sandi Gant, “País verde” $150, 11"x14", wooden mixed media BUY Antes de que nuestra familia se mudara a Wichita Falls, pasé mi infancia y mi juventud en Tulsa, Oklahoma. Esta zona se llama país verde y hace honor a su nombre. Cuando llegaban las vacaciones de verano, íbamos al Grand Lake O’ The Cherokees, que estaba a poca distancia en coche de Tulsa. Es un hermoso lago que atraviesa cuatro condados. Esperábamos con entusiasmo que terminaran las clases y comenzaran las vacaciones de verano. Si bien el lago de 46,500 acres cuenta con excelentes actividades de pesca y recreación familiar, las libélulas fueron las cosas más memorables que recuerdo. Había muchas de ellas revoloteando por los campos de hierba. Además de nadar y pasear en bote, nos sentábamos en la costa y las observábamos durante horas seguidas. Son criaturas tan fascinantes. Las libélulas son una gran influencia en mi arte. Esta creación saca a la luz esos recuerdos para nosotros. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342552234-YVFK89OUBM86V8R8589J/SarahGriego12_35PMatThe+Burrito+Shop+-+Sarah+Griego.PNG 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Sarah Griego, "12:35 PM en la tienda de burritos" 14" x 18", Woodcut print SOLD “12:35 PM en la tienda de burritos" es un vistazo a la rutina semanal de los sábados por la tarde. The Burrito Shop es nuestro negocio familiar. Mi abuela le dio vida y luego se lo pasó a mi mamá. Todos hemos trabajado en la tienda en un punto en nuestras vidas y hemos contribuido al éxito y el amor que tiene en nuestra comunidad. A medida que crecemos, traemos socios y suegros para trabajar y comer. La imagen que ves es la de nuestros fuereños, nuestros muchachos que hemos traído. En nuestra vida, los hijos de mi mamá que ella nunca tuvo. Esta pieza es para representar esos sábados a las 12:35 donde vamos a comer después del cierre, vemos partidos de fútbol, bromeamos y hablamos de planes para el día. Igual que nuestro negocio, la familia también se está expandiendo, agregando nuevos clientes y amor por mi familia y The Burrito Shop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342575254-GE3AKE5ZRDD2BHA81TZT/SarahPippins_AGentleGuardian+-+Sarah+Pippins.png 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Sarah Pippins, “Un guardián gentil” $300, 19.5x23.5 (with frame), Print with Frame BUY Sólo otro artista puede entender lo agridulce de dejar ir tu obra. Siento esto especialmente con los retratos por encargo; parece que deben dejar mis manos mientras todavía tienen pintura. Éste, sin embargo... horas y horas estudié los intrincados detalles de mis sujetos; la niña y su perro. Me desafiaron profesionalmente, pero pronto vi florecer sus personalidades. Comencé a imaginar sus historias en mi mente; una niña aventurera con su gentil protector, distante, pero dispuesta a atraparla. Me acordé de mi propia lucha como madre, tratando desesperadamente de proteger a mis hijos adolescentes cuando se aventuraban, y al mismo tiempo dándoles espacio para ser independientes. Llegó el momento, el trabajo estaba completo, pero quería un recuerdo de todas las lecciones que me enseñaron: una copia. Quizás los artistas no sean los únicos que comprendan el sabor agridulce de dejarse llevar; todos los guardianes lo hacen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342559056-EZA0PPDUI9V6R4MOT233/SelenaMize_BeginAgain+-+Selena+Mize.jpeg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Selena Mize, “Comenzar de nuevo” $650, 16"x20", Acrylic on panel BUY Cuando era niña no me interesaba nada "femenino". De hecho, yo era la marimacho de la familia debido a mi amor por el patinaje y el skate. A menudo yo era la única que estaba fuera de lugar con las otras chicas en la escuela, ya que parecía ser la única que disfrutaba de estas cosas. Para poder encajar en la escuela, poco a poco dejé de patinar por completo. Utilicé mi pasión por la pintura para hacerme eco de mis viejos dibujos infantiles llenos de garabatos, así como de mi amor de toda la vida por el color. Esta obra de arte me ha recordado que no debo renunciar a las cosas que te brindan alegría genuina. Trabajar en esta pieza sanó una parte de mi niño interior que no sabía que necesitaba ser sanada y me ha motivado a empezar a patinar de nuevo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342575163-L98LPC13990REXU19ULN/Selene+%28Bianka+Goco%29+-+Path+of+Mobility.jpeg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Selene (Bianka Goco), “Sendero de mobilidad” $150, 18"x24", Ink pen BUY La mayoría de las personas capaces no suelen reconocer los ligeros cambios en la arquitectura realizados para adaptarse a quienes tienen necesidades especiales. No se dan cuenta de que la rampa por la que caminaron lo hace más fácil para un andador, que la barandilla que usaron en las escaleras estabiliza a quien usa un bastón, que el botón automático de las puertas las mantiene abiertas para alguien con muletas, o que el ascensor en el que esperan puede llevar a alguien en silla de ruedas al último piso. Desafortunadamente, los lugares estarán equipados con lo mínimo según las leyes de la ADA, por lo que ahora esas personas tienen que esperar a que se despejen sus caminos o hacer todo lo posible para encontrar la entrada correcta que tenga las adaptaciones que necesitan. Esta pieza contiene varios tipos de ayudas para la movilidad y una arquitectura común para ayudar a esos usuarios. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342576557-8OA666LG34N1D26LG625/Sherry+Searcy+Boogle+House+-+Cindy+Thomas.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Sherry Searcy, “Casa Boogle” $85, 8X18, Mixed Media BUY Esta casa de Boogle fue creada en memoria de una vieja amiga y artista de fibras, Peggy Sexton. Nos conocimos en una Conferencia de la Federación de Texas y nos hicimos amigas al instante. No sólo era una querida amiga, sino una artista increíblemente talentosa e innovadora. Ella fue una fuente constante de inspiración a través de los años. Ella compartió sus conocimientos y materiales libremente. Cada año colaboraríamos en un proyecto, pasándolo de un lado a otro; cada una agregando su propia capa de diseño hasta que una de nosotros decidía que estaba terminada. Esta es la primera casa de Boogle (basada en un libro para niños) en la que trabajo desde su muerte. Creo que estaría contenta con ello. Contiene trozos de su tela. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342621072-H6LSW0JCK2QL5KID43XY/Simon+Welch_This+is+your+brain+on+alpha-synuclein+proteins+-+Simon+Welch.JPG 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Simon Welch, “Este es tu cerebro en proteínas alfa-sinucleínas” $150, 8"x10"x2.5", Eggshell, Gold flake, & resin BUY El primer paso hacia la aceptación es siempre la negación. Negar que los comentarios extravagantes y los pequeños episodios de olvido fueran solo el resultado de la edad de mi madre. De repente se olvidó del rostro de mi padre, creyendo incluso que era un intruso. Logré mantener mis esperanzas altas, ya que ella siempre parecía recordarme. Casi siempre. A veces. Casi nunca. Ver a mi madre sufrir el Alzheimer ha sido difícil, además de no entender muy bien cómo comunicarme con ella. Me siento enojado con aquellos que ofrecen oraciones, como si Dios finalmente respondiera a sus oraciones por una cura en específico, más que a todos los demás. Negocio con mis amigos para no preguntar por ella, sabiendo que su condición sólo puede empeorar. No sé lo que me deparará el futuro, pero sé que te amo mamá. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342597094-4VNLAD1ZCR5ZN3FGCRAZ/StacyTompkins+Swollen+-+Stacy+Tompkins.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Stacy Tompkins, “Inflamada” NFS, 4.75"X6", acrylic yarn, human hair, paper En 2005, me diagnosticaron un raro síndrome genético con potencial para muchas complicaciones. El médico me sugirió que investigara mis antecedentes familiares para reducir la lista de patologías a examinar. Descubrí que mi raro síndrome afecta tanto a mi linaje matriarcal como al patriarcal. Mi madre, mi padre y mis dos abuelas tenían síntomas y todos tenían un diagnóstico en común: insuficiencia cardíaca congestiva. Todas las matriarcas de mi familia han fallecido por problemas cardíacos y mi padre está luchando por controlar la afección. También me están haciendo pruebas para detectar problemas vasculares. Esta pieza representa nuestra herencia: la experiencia compartida de un órgano defectuoso. La imagen del corazón, parcialmente dibujada en papel, está cosida en estambre acrílico fieltro a mano usando mi cabello como hilo. Cada mechón de mi cabello contiene rasgos de cada padre y simboliza nuestra conexión a través del tiempo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1721342636368-YM31NFUAQ1OEMOCW4GU3/Zachary+Nguyen-Moore+-+Saoirse.jpg 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Zachary Nguyen-Moore, “Saoirse” $1,000, 24"x 36", Mixed Media BUY El otoño de 2023 marcó mi segundo semestre de regreso a la universidad, 16 años después de abandonarla. Después de un primer semestre exitoso, asumí una agenda apretada, asumiendo con optimismo que podría equilibrar el trabajo y la escuela con una gestión responsable del tiempo. Todo iba bien hasta que finalmente Covid me atrapó, y me atrapó bien. Fue una recuperación difícil tanto física como académicamente. Estuve postrado en cama durante aproximadamente una semana y media y mis reservas de energía y claridad mental prácticamente habían desaparecido. Me quedé atrás y perdí el control hasta que me apagué por completo. Afortunadamente, estaba bajo la diligente vigilancia de Saoirse, mi gata/enfermera/terapeuta/asistente de estudio/bufón. Durante toda la enfermedad y recuperación, Saoirse nunca se separó de mi lado. Un lecho de notas de trigonometría caóticas y trituradas ha sido apretado y cosido con hilo de bordar dorado metálico, formando la base de este recuerdo de la compañía de Saoirse en tiempos traumáticos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/124dd4bb-b253-4f6f-91b4-a16b01ea1834/2021+Memento.PNG 2024 MEMENTO gallery (Spanish) - Make it stand out Whatever it

Acrylic I remember how I felt - like everything was slipping, thread by thread. This painting was born from that moment: two hands gripping a rope that's coming undone, just like I was. The rope held the weight of everything I couldn't say - grief, fear, exhaustion. And still, I held on. It reminds me of nights spent trying to breathe through the heaviness, of quiet battles no one saw. The hands in this painting aren't just a symbol - they're mine. Or maybe yours. They belong to anyone who's ever felt close to breaking but chose to stay anyways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919186631-H2EDGVIENRGKKAGUEE5S/B.C.GilbertSteelToedTrophyMount+-+B.C.+Gilbert.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - B.C. Gilbert "Steel Toed Trophy Mount" $350, 13" h x 15" w x 1" d, Mixed Media Once, when I was a child hanging out in my father’s welding repair shop, a friend of his came in and was wearing a pair of lace up work boots with shiny steel domes peeking through the worn leather toes. After he left, I asked my father about them and he explained to me the purpose of steel toes. He explained that once a pair of boots are “broken in” it’s not desirable to get rid of them because they are more comfortable than a brand new pair. Since then, I have worked at many places where “steel toed foot wear” are a job requirement or made common sense to wear. My father was right, once a pair of boots are broken in, they are more comfortable than a new pair. However, after the boot’s have become too worn out to wear any more, the steel toe remains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919206473-DIL3QVVYGNG9HFK1122I/glencummings+clean.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - C Glen Cummings "Sardinia" $250, 23"x24", 5Lbs, latex on plywood This piece takes me back to my time in the Navy on La Maddalena, Sardinia from 1992 to 1994. It evokes many memories, such as my daily trek from home to my ship, which was moored on a small Island called Santo Stefano. I would ride my road bike on the bone shaking cobblestone streets to “Angelo’s Bar Amicci” to meet my cycling friends for capuccino and pasti. Then ride to the Fleet Landing where we caught a 20 minute boat ride on a converted landing craft (LCM), like the ones used to storm the beaches of Normandy. Some were just open air cattle cars with standing room only. It reminds me of telling my son I was going to sea and that I loved him and would see him in a few months with gifts from other countries. It was a guilt tax I paid for being absent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919218275-2L2SKT5IE0KNT4VQEQ6O/Candice+Wilkinson-Roney+-+An+Artist+Cooked+Here.JPG 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Candace Wilkinson-Roney "An Artist Cooked Here" NFS/24"x18"/multimedia construction mounted on canvas Floating through my life like a recurring dream, the memory of my kitchen in that yellow house visits me every day. My life as a cook and professional artist began in that kitchen. Summers meant lots of fresh vegetables. I prepared the best fried chicken countless times in a cast-iron skillet given to me by a grandmother. Bread baking became routine. There was always an audience while I was in the kitchen. Cats took up theater seats outside the screen door, watching every move I made, hoping for a taste of the good smells coming from within. I could have been rolling out pie crust at the table or working on my latest watercolor creation. These days, as I cook or paint, the memory of that kitchen reminds me of when I learned to cook good food while a masterpiece took shape on the kitchen table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919242788-X3SLJ71U8O2GXVRTDBZ9/Devonie+Hutchinson-Distorted+Perception.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Devonie Hutchinson "Distorted Perception" In moments of deep mental struggle, the mind can create a false permanence, convincing us that light, joy, and beauty no longer exist. The flower, though stripped of color, remains present as a representation of beauty that continues to exist even when the mind refuses to see it. The butterfly rests upon the weight, not consumed by it, serving as a quiet symbol of growth, resilience, and emergence. This piece serves as a personal memento. While I rarely voice my struggles, I create through them. The act of creating this work became a reminder that heaviness, though real, is temporary. This too shall pass is not a dismissal of pain, but an acknowledgment of its impermanence and the strength that quietly endures beneath it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919259473-BCB3KRPFHOUK8DHN8S0U/DylanJimenezStillnessintheSaddle+-+Dylan+Jimenez.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Dylan Jimenez "Stillness in the Saddle" $300, 24x36, photograph on canvas The smell of manure and money wash over me as I stare at all I’ve ever known.

This conflict, a reverbing dissonance in my mind between all I’ve ever known… and all I’ve ever wanted to know: pure, unadulterated freedom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919312630-0WMDVA1ZT8UQTA2DK6SH/EBONY+WILLIAMS+-+Summer+Love.jpeg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Ebony Williams "Summer Love" Growing I remember having a summer time love and when we couldn’t talk on the phone music was how we let each other know we’re thinking of them. Back then we would listen to the radio and when our favorite love song came on we would hit the record button. We Held tight the songs on a tape into our hearts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919339392-UOXY1PT1T4MA25T5ZOVE/fuago+clean.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - FUAGO "The Writers Night Light" $350, 14,-3/4 X 11- 5/8, Mixed media-(Wood cutouts, Spraypaint, acrylic markers, led light, shadow box) While most people toss their used spray paint caps I’ve been saving them for years without really knowing why, until I realized they hold memories. Each one is tied to a moment, a spot, or a night. The spray can is like an old railroad lantern, built as a vessel for vision and to send a message. The cap is the part that burns and is where the energy comes out. When the cans are spent, what’s left on the cap is more than dried paint, it’s layers of memory. Graffiti is fleeting by nature, It gets destroyed, buffed over, or rolls away into the night. The cap stays, holding traces of the thoughts, and feelings of the painting. Caps weren’t meant to be kept, yet here they sit each one stained with the whispers of my past adventures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919528409-4DV1FRUR3RMTDSQZIVM0/Screenshot+2025-07-30+185057.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Haley Rittenberry "Broken at Best" $600, 11x14 (16x20 framed), alcohol markers This piece is a visual representation of my relationship with mental illness and an homage to the moments I’ve to escape my own mind. The tangled black ink symbolizes the chaos and weight that once felt inescapable. The fragmented faces reflect the internal conflict of identity and emotional overload. At its core, this drawing is not only a memory of struggle, but also on transformation. What was once an all-consuming storm, with time, became something I learned to navigate. The marks, once erratic, now form a new shape. A type of controlled disorder. Creating this was both cathartic and grounding. Capturing not just pain, but growth. It reminds us that even in darkness there is a version of self that survives, adapts, and emerges with clarity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919549762-C8SBKOZZHS3X4HRRNTC4/JessicaZimnyShesNotComingBack+-+DynablineCorqui.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Jessica Zimny "She's Not Coming Back" $65, 8x10", screenprint “She's Not Coming Back” encapsulates the life of my childhood stuffed animal, Piggy. I still have her to this day, but she went through many replacements before I finally stopped losing her. Whether she was left in a grocery cart, remained in a restaurant bathroom, or fell from my hands at a park, she was always replaced by my loving parents. This piece showcases the event of losing one of those pigs, and the sentimental value I have towards it. The artwork mimics an old photograph I have of Piggy, where the date stamp is visible in the corner. The color palette, reflective of warm spring colors, presents a feeling of comfort. Piggy provided me with memories, solace, and loyalty, and her sacrifices were never forgotten. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919569086-LUBUPI7Y6QPW5W99SI4N/Joy+SouthFox+-+The+Fountain.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Joy SouthFox "The Fountain" $130.00,12x16, Acrylic on wood canvas The Fountain - Sometimes a memory comes to us when we need to reflect. We only see what is truly important, as the rest is just a soft colors that surround it. The important part is the filling of the emotions we had at that moment. Each colors, shape and even sound comes back. This happened not long ago, as I remembered the day my husband surprised me with a water fountain for the patio. The beauty of its design, the sound of the water as it poured gently into the bowls. A simple little gift of love, that still holds the ability to make me smile after all these years. He left this world much too soon, as the cancer slowly took his light away. Now this memory helps me to feel the love that he left behind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919596295-IMSFQN3781RS9UE1A0YS/JackieDavis_9years+5months+-+Jackie+Davis.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - JUBA "9 Years, 5 Months" 25x36, Oil Paint and ink on canvas At first glance, you see a smiling boy—me, at age nine. The oil portrait captures what most people saw on the outside: a joyful child, seemingly carefree. But beside it hangs something else entirely—my psychological evaluation from that same year. It documents a different story: developmental delays, suicidal thoughts, and a history of early trauma. These two pieces, side by side, form a kind of conversation. One shows how I appeared to the world. The other tells what the world didn’t always see. The contrast between them reflects a truth I’ve come to understand: survival can wear a smile, and pain doesn’t always show up in ways others recognize. This work speaks to the tension between image and reality, especially for children navigating systems like foster care. It holds the discomfort of being both visible and misunderstood. While the painting feels warm and familiar, the document feels clinical and cold. Yet both are parts of me—evidence of what was, and what was hidden. By placing them together, I reclaim a moment from my past. I invite others to consider how many stories remain unseen, how often we misread strength, and how healing can begin when we no longer separate the beautiful from the broken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919607144-MUZS1QPX3JV2ORDHCVSH/JackieDavis_What+Makes+For+A+Grievable+Light+-+Jackie+Davis.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - JUBA "What Makes For A Grievable Light" $800, 24x24, Acrylic on Canvas Inspired by Psalm 39:7—“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you”—this piece draws from a painful childhood memory of being locked alone in a dark room as punishment in a foster home. In that moment, the absence of light became more than fear—it became a symbol of longing, silence, and survival. That darkness, once terrifying, is now transformed into a sacred memento: not an object, but a remembered absence that shaped my emotional landscape. This work asks: What makes for a grievable light? Through layered brushstrokes and symbolic use of light and shadow, I explore how trauma can be turned into a visual artifact of resilience. As both artist and mental health advocate, I invite viewers to reflect on the objects and memories—seen or unseen—that mark our most formative experiences. This piece is both remembrance and release: a visual echo of a moment once endured, now reimagined. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919656072-G0FRLQH69B8TFI5D2LSS/Fields_of_Memory_KerriMullin++-+Kerri+Mullin.jpeg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Kerri Mullin "Fields of Memory" NFS, 18x14, Oil on Panel Fields of Memory captures the ache of growing up, the loss of my father, and the way memories soften at the edges but never truly fade. In the distance, my childhood home stands still, a silent witness to the moments that shaped us. The field surrounding it is pale, drained of color, echoing the emptiness left by absence. Yet in the center, my father’s ghostly figure moves through the scene, a presence both haunting and comforting, vivid against the lifeless landscape. Nearby, my brother stands in quiet reflection, carrying the unspoken weight of our father’s love and the life he gave us. That house behind us holds more than just rooms and walls; it holds the people, the memories, and the love that built us. Though time moves forward and everything changes, Fields of Memory reminds us that the bond between parent and child endures, unseen, but never broken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919656683-OK8THQKNB1LSAC3R1HLV/Beyond_Goodbye_KerriMullin+-+Kerri+Mullin.jpeg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Kerri Mullin "Beyond Goodbye" $850, 30x34, Watercolor on Paper Beyond Goodbye portrays loss and presence, showing that even when someone is gone, their impact endures, rooted deeply in our lives and hearts, beyond any final goodbye. The blue field, behind the ghostly images of my father and I, is dotted with delicate flowers, symbolizing the beauty and life that continue despite loss. In the distance, a house stands quietly, a place of memories and belonging. A bare tree, stripped of its leaves, stretches upward, its stark branches reflecting the absence of my father’s physical presence. Yet, like the tree’s unseen roots, his influence runs deep within me. Though he no longer here, his foundation remains steady and vital, shaping who I have become. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919664695-U4LLO0AHF1P76UUD66P5/Screenshot+2025-07-30+185128.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Kerrigan Reyes "Sometimes, It's What You Need, Not What You Want" $350, 11x14x1 inches, two pounds, watercolor and ink This piece is about being 31 days sober in California and wanting to relapse. The therapist told me to go outside and practice deep breathing. I sat beneath the orange tree and proceeded to take deep breathes and after five minutes I could hear the wind through the trees, taste the salt of the ocean, and see the light filter down through the trees. And I realized sometimes coping skills isn’t always about what you want but they are what you need to stay sober. It shaped my viewpoint of what I previously thought was stupid and is now a tool I use daily. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919728534-QTEVA2AIYT0M7JCIE63I/Screenshot+2025-07-30+185516.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Kim Ballesteros "Hushed" $400, 14.5x10.25x1.25 inches, Encaustic Assemblage As I peeked through the cracked window, I noticed that the winds went silent. Time stood still for a moment, and the memories of a place I had cherished, of a faraway home filled with love and laughter, came flooding over me. Here a family had cooked dinners in that kitchen, warmed themselves by that fireplace, and cuddled together in those beds. A scrap of wallpaper from an abandoned Irish cottage and a rusted pipe found in a pile of forgotten rubble are surrounded by a blue that resembles both the sky and the sea. I created this assemblage after visiting Achill Island in Ireland two years ago. Now as I sit by my mother’s bedside in hospice, I once again feel that longing in the pit of my stomach. Missing the past and what was, missing my childhood home – and knowing that life will never be the same again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919756230-H38ZIEI6KPLHJ0W2AMXB/IMG_20250606_190136352_HDR+-+Ky+Reitenour+%281%29.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Ky Reitenour "Portrait of My Grandmother" $400, 2lbs, acrylic on canvas Her soul was made of flowers, petals of love, budding and blooming, a kindness so fragrant it's contagious and quiet strength. Like a garden in full spring, she held space for everyone. roses of wisdom for the lost, daisies of joy for the young, and lavender calm for those in pain. Her laughter smooth like wind through wildflowers, gentle and warm, and hugs that felt like being wrapped in sunlight and blooming vines. She spoke with the patience of seasons, never rushing, always knowing when it was time to plant, time to wait, and time to harvest. Her hands, weathered but graceful, carried the scent of soil and sugar, of flowerbeds with hyacinths, She wore forget-me-nots in her stories, lilacs in her lullabies, and marigolds in the way she let go when it was time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919785972-P5TQ4Q9TQEO5I9K3SPCM/Larry+Anderson+The+BLUR%2C+2025+-+Genevieve+Anderson.jpeg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Larry Anderson "The Blur" NFS, 30" x 16" My son sent us a picture of himself working in his studio. It was an overhead shot with a fisheye effect. We asked him how he did it, and he jokingly stated he had set his phone camera to three second delay and threw it in the air at the one second mark. Then he texted "HaHa, I used a selfie stick and a 360 degree setting on my phone". In the mean time, I tried the camera trick he described. It came out a blur. But a colorful well balanced blur. I sent him the shot and he said it was cool, so cool in fact he blew it up and framed it. Fast forward to a conversation with a friend about the Memento Show, and I started to apply, but got hung up on the process. Then the framed "BLUR" showed up on my doorstep. I buckled down and applied. So not only is "The BLUR" a memento of shared creative fun, it's an inspiration to try new things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919806450-0C6DG3AJOG7JZDZKN424/Rocky%27s+Collar+by+Lisa+Vining+-+L+Vin22.jpeg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Lisa Vining "Rocky's Collar" $250 2 x 20 Framed Photo Adopted from the local animal shelter in 1978, Rocky was the perfect family pet—our playmate and general guard dog. We taught Rocky all the usual tricks but his most impressive, was balancing a milk bone on his nose to flip up and catch in his mouth. For my father, Rocky was a trusty companion while he worked in the yard to the soundtrack of baseball games from the transistor radio. When my father passed away, I was clearing out his closet and was surprised to find Rocky’s collar tucked away on a hook in the back corner. None of us knew that my father had brought it home from the vet. It was such a kind and sentimental act, a memento to the bond of a lost family pet. Rocky's collar was hanging in my father’s closet from 1990 until I discovered it in 2013. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919852484-TEI051F98LWADXD1TLNH/2025+Artwork+%281%29.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Marion Keyes Helmick "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" NFS. 3 by 6 inches .7 ounces The day I reeiceved the Bad Speller’s Dictionary in high school was, without a dought, the most ironic moment of my akademik journey. My English teacher, Mrs. Thompson, handed it to me with a knowing smile, as if she had just gifted me the holy grail of misspeled words. “Marion,” she said, “This book will be your best freind.” At first, I was offended. I mean, how bad cud my spelling really bee? But then, as I flipped threw the pages, I realized something—I had been spellying definitely as “defiantly” for years!

In my grandmother’s house, his letters remained safely tucked away, each one a reminder of laughter, courage, and the unwavering spirit. In the letters he asked about family and his beloved Boston Red Sox. A boy who lived boldly and loved deeply. His sacrifice was immeasurable, but his legacy was more than war—it was family, joy, and a love for life that even time could not erase. Years later, as my grandmother watched the Red Sox take the field, she would whisper his name. Not in sorrow, but in memory. Because though the war took him, it never took the warmth of his words, the humor in his heart, or the love he left behind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919858109-2EFHXWPMSPD8J028Q68S/Mary+Lou+Rodriguez.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Mary Lou Rodriguez "Soy Esa Hija Que Le Dieron El Mejor Manana" NFS, 19 x 24, Mix Media (colored pencil, watercolor, charcoal, gel pens, ink pens) Before I became the woman in this portrait, I was a daughter woven from stories, struggles, and dreams whispered in quiet acts of love in another language. This piece is a memento of memory and migration, layered with faith, culture, hope, and grief. It holds my family's sacrifices and the complex identity they gifted me, a reflection of all who have crossed borders, seen and unseen, in search of something better. The phrase “Soy esa hija que le dieron el mejor mañana” is my silent vow: I remember. I see them. I hear them. I carry their hopes. The cracked mirror still holds light, reminding me that even in brokenness, there is strength and grace. This art is not only my story but a tribute to the weight of many journeys, a promise to live fully grounded in the past and reach toward the uncertain future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919872760-21EBW4GKWIX8KVPA67MK/meetmeinMDW+-+Nicole+Welch.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Polly Pocket/Nicole Welch "Meet Me in Midway" $150, 12"x12", digital print on canvas “Meet Me in Midway” is a map of Chicago’s Airbnb listings within 5 miles of Midway Airport.

I met who would become my two best Chicagoan girlfriends at a human rights movement dubbed #FREEBRITNEY. We were three young professionals who traveled cross-country to rally for social justice. Best friends forever. While working on the map visual, I accidentally zoomed out and discovered how close Lake Michigan was to Chicago!

STAPLED TO MY SHEETS is a reflection of my experience with depression during this time. Often when I'd wake up in the morning, or when I'm trying to sleep at night, I would just lay and rot, wishing the clock would just stop and I could rest. But the clock never stopped, and I never felt rested. When my body would go numb from the stasis, I felt pins and needles. It was as if I was stapled to my sheets, pinning me in place. This was my first ever woodblock! I used simple angle, but with black rays around my head as a signal that something SHOULD be happening, a feeling of loom and impeding doom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919926440-GESZ52T36X4YT7S5Y37S/SamEytalis-WHEELOFMANIA+-+Sam+Eytalis.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Sam Eytalis "WHEEL OF MANIA" NFS, 14x11in., Reductive woodblock print I made a series of prints for my relief printmaking course in art school at the same time as my first experience into psychiatric treatment for my mental health. WHEEL OF MANIA is of a reflection of my experience with hypomania during this time. I was still trying to navigate what I felt like was happening to me during this time, and this piece is me coming to terms of the more erratic nature of my psyche, how every thought seems to be pulled out of a hat. It not necessarily a negative experience, as hypomania feels "good," but eventually, it feels like a mental Russian roulette. The bright colors, wonky angle, silly expression, arcade lights, and a smear of movement on the wheel are all reflective of this too-bright, too-energetic, and too-fun feeling of hypomania. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753919961250-XZ39IM83ZG2Q9AUNNGTJ/Schuyler+Ferris+Memento+of+Mementos.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Schuyler Ferris "Memento of Mementos" $999, 29.5" x 30" acrylic paint This painting is a memento of me—layered with mementos I’ve lived. The samurai on my back remembers the discipline of martial arts. The biomechanical leg speaks to pain and persistence from a past in basketball. I sit in my orthopedic chair, because those choices of my past still echo through my body today. Each part of me holds a different time. But beneath the surface is another self—literally. The texture is built from old business cards, each printed with a self-portrait from the past. So this painting rests on my former face, my former ideas—now painted over, transformed. I’m painting myself not just to capture who I am, but to ask who I’m becoming. Every brushstroke is a choice. A memory. A future. This portrait is a memento within mementos—a layered archive of identity in motion. A reminder that we’re not fixed. We’re built from versions, always shifting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753920040736-UYNLHJ71TN0YEEDME78T/Screenshot+2025-07-30+190004.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Schuyler Ferris "First Contact" 11"x14" image, acrylic This painting is a memento of the moment I began to see myself differently. My first painted self-portrait, it marks the early steps of becoming a painter—of learning how to translate thought into form. The alien splitting from my head isn’t horror. It’s metaphor. It’s the strange and uncomfortable truth of peeling back layers to reveal something unexpected, something honest. At the time, I didn’t fully understand it—but I felt it. Like memory, this image isn’t fixed. It shifts meaning as I change. What began as raw instinct has become a marker, a timestamp, a visual note that says: This is where it started. Now it sits beneath my other painting—literally, in the texture of business cards pressed into new work. But this portrait still speaks. It’s a memento of awakening. A moment of identity emerging. A first glimpse of something new trying to come through. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753920255492-9PBI0QPFCHZI0NRYYV5Q/Scotty+Coppage_Let+It+Ride+-+Walter+Coppage.jpeg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Scotty Coppage "Let It Ride" $500, 31x15x32, , mixed media Our dads put their Mickey Mantle baseball cards in the spokes of their bikes to sound like a motorcycle.

My cards never rose to the value of those crumpled Mickey Mantles. My cards were kept in plastic sleeves locked in time. What if they weren’t?

I started putting a dinosaur (Rexee) on my counter mainly to celebrate birthdays but then it went completely off the rails. Rexee traveled to Japan, played piano bar and wishes everyone a happy anything as the seasons passed. One day I got the idea to have Rexee open an art gallery. You could take an art piece, but you had to leave one in return. I kept 3" x 3" paper on the counter in front of the gallery. I put up 3 small pieces and opened up to the kids and teachers. It became an interactive center of activity as both teachers and kids would promote their work. It became its own memento creator as kids and teachers took home the artwork that spoke to them and replaced it in turn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753920361307-EU0V5PNRZ3HOYD1GXROZ/Simon+Welch_The+Longest+Flight+-+Simon+Welch.JPG 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Simon Welch "The Longest Flight" $100, 11x14, Printed aluminum plate In 2024 my wife and I took our first international trip as a couple to Japan and Korea. This was a nerve wracking experience for many reasons but none so tragic as the sickness that befell our dog Lindsay the morning of our flight. After calling the emergency line at our vet and gripping her tightly in the car, we learned that she had a vestibular stroke and would most likely not recover. We rescheduled our flight and waited for good news but none came. The next morning we made the very difficult decision to let her go peacefully upon advice from our veterinarian. Unfortunately we could not mourn peacefully as we immediately had to drive to the airport to make our flight. We cried the entire way and most of the flight. We miss you Lindsay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753920678810-ZU9G8OM6PH5MDK3G3VY6/Screenshot+2025-07-30+191055.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Simon Welch "Travelers" $100, 11x14, Printed aluminum plate If I had to describe myself as anything, it would be as a homebody. I enjoy having a stable space to breathe and collect my thoughts. With some prompting from my significant other I took my first international trip in 2024. This was not only my first trip out of the country, but a 13 hour flight to Japan and then a short hop to South Korea. This photo was taken moments after tears were shed at the unbound beauty of an interactive art exhibit and truly captures the happiness and love we feel for one another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753920376095-CRBMN2HHKY9NP8333QBT/TheRodneyMona+Lesley+-+THE+RODNEY.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - The Rodney "Mona Lesley" $1000, 24x36, Oil on Canvas This painting is from a time early in my Painting Journey when I first experimented with oil paints. I wanted to be the Black Leonardo da Vinci and paint my version of the Mona Lisa using my artist friend Lesley as the inspiration. And even though this painting has been in exhibits in multiple places over the years and my skills have grown. It's still one of the best paintings I've ever done. Not just because of the techniques used, but because it's a loving reminder of the good times I had hanging with Lesley while exploring the medium I was first scared of but would later come to love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753920399922-T7KH2REXAGXT4GZQBJD2/TriciaSeymour-BarrierPurpleCanapy+-+Tricia+Seymour.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Tricia Seymour-Barrier "Purple Canopy" $75, Size: 12"x12", Acrylic paint-Textured Mixed Media Dreamy Purple Canopy My childhood bedroom was a place of magic and imagination, painted in the softest shade of lavender. This color, chosen lovingly by my parents, transformed the room into a tranquil haven. The centerpiece of this enchanting space was my purple canopy bed. Adorned with sheer, flowing fabrics that cascaded gracefully down the sides, it was nothing short of a princess's bed. This bed was not just a place to sleep; it was a sanctuary for daydreams and creativity. I would lie there for hours, imagining grand adventures and distant lands. The canopy, with its soft, billowing curtains, became the sails of a ship or the walls of a secret fort. It was a stage for my creative stories and fairy tales. As I grew older, the room evolved, but the essence of that magical purple canopy remained, a reminder that the world is full of endless possibilities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753920433394-UJYJ1CPQG04QT6ECAL7E/IMG_7777+-+Veronica+Wong+%281%29.jpeg 2025 MEMENTO gallery English - Veronica "The Dreaming Tree" $998, 37.5 by 26.5 by1.5, 7 lbs, acrylic This artwork is a memento of my childhood escape. Inspired by The Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton, it reflects my deep love for adventure, mystery, and new worlds. As a child, my reality was gloomy and chaotic—but in books, I found magic. I imagined climbing the enchanted tree and discovering a new land above the clouds each time. The colorful city in this painting represents those secret lands—full of wonder, light, and stories waiting to unfold. The swirling patterns, glowing sun, and blooming flowers carry the hope and joy I once longed for. This piece captures that moment of pure imagination where I could forget my pain, even just for a while. It’s not just a painting—it’s a memory of the place I ran to when the world felt too heavy. A reminder that beauty, even imagined, can give us strength to survive. http://www.9thstreetstudios.com/2025-memento-gallery-spanish daily 0.75 2025-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921622731-ZOG1UYW4O91Q3BSLV5ND/Ash+Dovee+-+Holding+On.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Ash Dovee "Aguantando"  $140 • Peso: 1 libra • Dimensión: 8 x 16 • Medios: Acrílico Recuerdo cómo me sentía, como si todo se estuviera deslizando, hilo por hilo. Esta pintura nació de ese momento: dos manos agarrando una cuerda que se está deshaciendo, tal como yo. La cuerda sostenía el peso de todo lo que no podía decir: dolor, miedo, agotamiento. Y aún así, aguanté. Me recuerda a las noches que pasé tratando de respirar a través de la pesadez, de batallas silenciosas que nadie vio. Las manos en esta pintura no son solo un símbolo, son mías. O tal vez el tuyas. Pertenecen a cualquiera que alguna vez se haya sentido cerca de romperse, pero eligió quedarse de todos modos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921637584-07LRAYAK347HE9L1HZZZ/B.C.GilbertSteelToedTrophyMount+-+B.C.+Gilbert.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - B.C. Gilbert "Montura de trofeo con punta de acero"  $350, 13" de alto x 15" de ancho x 1" de profundidad, técnica mixta Una vez, cuando era un niño que pasaba el rato en el taller de reparación de soldadura de mi padre, un amigo suyo entró y llevaba un par de botas de trabajo con cordones con cúpulas de acero brillante que se asomaban a través de los dedos de cuero gastados. Después de que se fue, le pregunté a mi padre sobre ellos y me explicó el propósito de los dedos de acero. Explicó que una vez que un par de botas se "rompen", no es deseable deshacerse de ellas porque son más cómodas que un par nuevo. Desde entonces, he trabajado en muchos lugares donde el "calzado con punta de acero" es un requisito del trabajo o tiene sentido común. Mi padre tenía razón, una vez que se rompen un par de botas, son más cómodas que un par nuevo. Sin embargo, después de que las botas se han desgastado demasiado para usarlas más, la punta de acero permanece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753925812341-4E195CKYBN4BHY6IVC55/glencummings%2Bclean.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - C Glen Cummings "Cerdeña"  $250, 23"x24", 5Lbs, látex sobre madera contrachapada Esta pieza me lleva de vuelta a mi tiempo en la Marina en La Maddalena, Cerdeña, de 1992 a 1994. Evoca muchos recuerdos, como mi viaje diario desde casa hasta mi barco, que estaba amarrado en una pequeña isla llamada Santo Stefano. Andaba en mi bicicleta de camino por las calles empedradas que sacuden los huesos hasta "Angelo's Bar Amicci" para reunirme con mis amigos ciclistas para tomar capuccino y pasti. Luego pedaleábamos hasta Fleet Landing, donde tomamos un viaje en bote de 20 minutos en una lancha de desembarco convertida (LCM), como las que se usaron para asaltar las playas de Normandía. Algunos eran solo vagones de ganado al aire libre con espacio para estar de pie. Me recuerda cuando le dije a mi hijo que me iba a hacer a la mar y que lo amaba y que lo vería en unos meses con regalos de otros países. Era un impuesto de culpa que pagaba por estar ausente. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921626927-61PPQ900QP8ZNB7N48IG/Candice+Wilkinson-Roney+-+An+Artist+Cooked+Here.JPG 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Candace Wilkinson-Roney "Un artista cocinó aquí"  NFS/24"x18"/3 lbs./construcción multimedia montada en lona Flotando por mi vida como un sueño recurrente, el recuerdo de mi cocina en esa casa amarilla me visita todos los días. Mi vida como cocinera y artista profesional comenzó en esa cocina. Los veranos significaban muchas verduras frescas. Preparé el mejor pollo frito innumerables veces en una sartén de hierro fundido que me regaló una abuela. Hornear pan se convirtió en rutina. Siempre había una audiencia mientras estaba en la cocina. Los gatos ocuparon los asientos del teatro fuera de la puerta mosquitera, observando cada movimiento que hacía, con la esperanza de probar los buenos olores que venían del interior. Podría haber estado extendiendo la masa de pastel en la mesa o trabajando en mi última creación de acuarela. En estos días, mientras cocino o pinto, la memoria de esa cocina me recuerda cuando aprendí a cocinar buena comida mientras una obra maestra tomaba forma en la mesa de la cocina. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921593294-A2CZWZDEW4JJB4YMAJ4W/Devonie+Hutchinson-Distorted+Perception.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Devonie Hutchinson "Percepción distorsionada"  En momentos de profunda lucha mental, la mente puede crear una falsa permanencia, convenciéndonos de que la luz, la alegría y la belleza ya no existen. La flor, aunque despojada de color, permanece presente como una representación de la belleza que continúa existiendo incluso cuando la mente se niega a verla. La mariposa descansa sobre el peso, no consumida por él, sirviendo como un símbolo silencioso de crecimiento, resistencia y emergencia. Esta pieza sirve como recuerdo personal. Si bien rara vez expreso mis luchas, creo a través de ellas. El acto de crear esta obra se convirtió en un recordatorio de que la pesadez, aunque real, es temporal. Esto también pasará no es un rechazo del dolor, sino un reconocimiento de su impermanencia y la fuerza que perdura silenciosamente debajo de él. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753924775861-65HDEYSYQJIB8ZTFL7FP/fuago+clean.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - FUAGO "La luz nocturna de los escritores"  $350, 14,-3/4 X 11- 5/8, 5lb, Técnica mixta-(Recortes de madera, pintura en aerosol, marcadores acrílicos, luz led, caja de sombra) Si bien la mayoría de las personas tiran sus tapas de pintura en aerosol usadas, yo las he estado guardando durante años sin saber realmente por qué, hasta que me di cuenta de que guardan recuerdos. Cada uno está ligado a un momento, un lugar o una noche. La lata de aerosol es como una vieja linterna de ferrocarril, construida como un recipiente para la visión y para enviar un mensaje. La tapa es la parte que se quema y es por donde sale la energía. Cuando se gastan las latas, lo que queda en la tapa es más que pintura seca, son capas de memoria. El graffiti es fugaz por naturaleza, se destruye, se pule o se aleja en la noche. La tapa se queda, con rastros de los pensamientos y sentimientos de la pintura. Las tapas no estaban destinadas a guardarse, pero aquí están, cada una manchada con los susurros de mis aventuras pasadas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921598212-SGB4GM6VKPHQRLCVHFP4/DylanJimenezStillnessintheSaddle+-+Dylan+Jimenez.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Dylan Jiménez "Quietud en la silla de montar"  $300, 24x36, 5lbs, fotografía sobre lienzo El olor a estiércol y dinero me inunda mientras miro todo lo que he conocido.

En ese entonces escuchábamos la radio y cuando sonaba nuestra canción de amor favorita, presionábamos el botón de grabación. Mantuvimos las canciones grabadas en la cinta pegadas a nuestros corazones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921438029-LYJ8SY1898SMW69PBYJT/Screenshot+2025-07-30+185057.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Haley Rittenberry "Roto en el mejor de los casos"  $600, 11x14 (16x20 enmarcado), 1 libra, marcadores de alcohol Esta pieza es una representación visual de mi relación con la enfermedad mental y un homenaje a los momentos que tengo para escapar de mi propia mente. La tinta negra enredada simboliza el caos y el peso que alguna vez se sintió ineludible. Los rostros fragmentados reflejan el conflicto interno de identidad y sobrecarga emocional. En esencia, este dibujo no es solo un recuerdo de lucha, sino también de transformación. Lo que alguna vez fue una tormenta que lo consumía todo, con el tiempo, se convirtió en algo que aprendí a navegar. Las marcas, que alguna vez fueron erráticas, ahora forman una nueva forma. Un tipo de trastorno controlado. Crear esto fue catártico y fundamentador. Capturando no solo el dolor, sino también el crecimiento. Nos recuerda que incluso en la oscuridad hay una versión del yo que sobrevive, se adapta y emerge con claridad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921587899-HN7OC1EGPZ55BD6YSH7C/JessicaZimnyShesNotComingBack+-+DynablineCorqui.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Jessica Zimny "Ella no va a volver"  $65, 8x10", serigrafía "She's Not Coming Back" encapsula la vida de mi peluche de la infancia, Piggy. Todavía la tengo hasta el día de hoy, pero pasó por muchos reemplazos antes de que finalmente parara de perderla. Ya fuera que la dejaran en un carrito de supermercado, permaneciera en el baño de un restaurante o se cayera de mis manos en un parque, siempre fue reemplazada por mis amorosos padres. Esta pieza muestra el evento de perder uno de esos cerdos y el valor sentimental que tengo hacia él. La obra de arte imita una fotografía antigua que tengo de Piggy, donde el sello de fecha es visible en la esquina. La paleta de colores, que refleja los cálidos colores primaverales, presenta una sensación de confort. Piggy me proporcionó recuerdos, consuelo y lealtad, y sus sacrificios nunca fueron olvidados. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921583295-SOPKN7JWGKOI5ZM7QDHS/Joy+SouthFox+-+The+Fountain.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Joy SouthFox "La fuente"  $130.00,12x16, Acrílico sobre lienzo de madera La fuente - A veces nos viene un recuerdo cuando necesitamos reflexionar. Solo vemos lo que es verdaderamente importante, ya que el resto son solo colores suaves que lo rodean. La parte importante es la cobertura de emociones que tuvimos en ese momento. Cada color, forma e incluso sonido regresa. Esto sucedió no hace mucho, ya que recordé el día en que mi esposo me sorprendió con una fuente de agua para el patio. La belleza de su diseño, el sonido del agua mientras se vertía suavemente en los cuencos. Un pequeño regalo de amor, que todavía tiene la capacidad de hacerme sonreír después de todos estos años. Dejó este mundo demasiado pronto, ya que el cáncer le quitó lentamente la luz. Ahora este recuerdo me ayuda a sentir el amor que dejó atrás. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921626735-JAO4MT1PDTZARKMA8H6H/JackieDavis_9years+5months+-+Jackie+Davis.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - JUBA "9 años, 5 meses"  25x36, 4lbs, Pintura al óleo y tinta sobre lienzo A primera vista, ves a un niño sonriente: yo, a los nueve años. El retrato al óleo captura lo que la mayoría de la gente vio en el exterior: un niño alegre, aparentemente despreocupado. Pero al lado cuelga algo completamente diferente: mi evaluación psicológica de ese mismo año. Documenta una historia diferente: retrasos en el desarrollo, pensamientos suicidas y una historia de trauma temprano. Estas dos piezas, una al lado de la otra, forman una especie de conversación. Uno muestra cómo aparecí ante el mundo. El otro cuenta lo que el mundo no siempre vio. El contraste entre ellos refleja una verdad que he llegado a entender: la supervivencia puede llevar una sonrisa y el dolor no siempre aparece de manera que otros lo reconozcan. Este trabajo habla de la tensión entre la imagen y la realidad, especialmente para los niños que navegan por sistemas como el Sistema Tutelar. Tiene la incomodidad de ser visible e incomprendido. Si bien la pintura se siente cálida y familiar, el documento se siente clínico y frío. Sin embargo, ambos son partes de mí, evidencia de lo que fue y de lo que estaba oculto. Al juntarlos, recupero un momento de mi pasado. Invito a otros a considerar cuántas historias permanecen invisibles, con qué frecuencia malinterpretamos la fuerza y cómo la curación puede comenzar cuando ya no separamos lo bello de lo roto. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921622563-VDKT8O7EFQAYBT87MXII/JackieDavis_What+Makes+For+A+Grievable+Light+-+Jackie+Davis.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - JUBA "Lo que hace que una luz sea lamentable"  $800, 24x24, 2lbs, Acrílico sobre lienzo Inspirado por el Salmo 39:7: "Y ahora, oh Señor, ¿para qué espero? Mi esperanza está en ti", esta pieza se basa en un doloroso recuerdo de la infancia de estar encerrado solo en una habitación oscura como castigo en un hogar tutelar. En ese momento, la ausencia de luz se convirtió en algo más que miedo: se convirtió en un símbolo de anhelo, silencio y supervivencia. Esa oscuridad, una vez aterradora, ahora se transforma en un recuerdo sagrado: no un objeto, sino una ausencia recordada que dio forma a mi paisaje emocional. Este trabajo pregunta: ¿Qué hace que una luz sea lamentable? A través de pinceladas en capas y el uso simbólico de luces y sombras, exploro cómo el trauma puede convertirse en un artefacto visual de resiliencia. Como artista y defensor de la salud mental, invito a los espectadores a reflexionar sobre los objetos y recuerdos, visibles o invisibles, que marcan nuestras experiencias más formativas. Esta pieza es a la vez recuerdo y liberación: un eco visual de un momento que una vez se soportó, ahora se reinventa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921620300-MI6HY2Y6R1B3KTI1GJ4U/Fields_of_Memory_KerriMullin++-+Kerri+Mullin.jpeg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Kerri Mullin "Campos de memoria"  NFS, 18x14, 4 libras, óleo sobre panel Fields of Memory captura el dolor de crecer, la pérdida de mi padre y la forma en que los recuerdos se suavizan en los bordes pero nunca se desvanecen realmente. A lo lejos, la casa de mi infancia se detiene, testigo silencioso de los momentos que nos moldearon. El campo que la rodea es pálido, drenado de color, haciéndose eco del vacío dejado por la ausencia. Sin embargo, en el centro, la figura fantasmal de mi padre se mueve a través de la escena, una presencia a la vez inquietante y reconfortante, vívida contra el paisaje sin vida. Cerca de allí, mi hermano está de pie en tranquila reflexión, cargando el peso tácito del amor de nuestro padre y la vida que nos dio. Esa casa detrás de nosotros tiene más que solo habitaciones y paredes; contiene a las personas, los recuerdos y el amor que nos construyó. Aunque el tiempo avanza y todo cambia, Fields of Memory nos recuerda que el vínculo entre padres e hijos perdura, invisible, pero nunca roto. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921612710-QZPVHTLJUCHLM8G43NAT/Beyond_Goodbye_KerriMullin+-+Kerri+Mullin.jpeg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Kerri Mullin "Más allá del adiós"  $850, 30x34, 6lbs, Acuarela sobre papel Beyond Goodbye retrata la pérdida y la presencia, mostrando que incluso cuando alguien se ha ido, su impacto perdura, arraigado profundamente en nuestras vidas y corazones, más allá de cualquier adiós final. El campo azul, detrás de las imágenes fantasmales de mi padre y yo, está salpicado de delicadas flores, que simbolizan la belleza y la vida que continúan a pesar de la pérdida. A lo lejos, una casa se encuentra tranquila, un lugar de recuerdos y pertenencia. Un árbol desnudo, despojado de sus hojas, se extiende hacia arriba, sus ramas austeras reflejan la ausencia de la presencia física de mi padre. Sin embargo, como las raíces invisibles del árbol, su influencia corre profundamente dentro de mí. Aunque ya no está aquí, su base sigue siendo firme y vital, dando forma a lo que me he convertido. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921438173-H9J394N14FNCUQRYYGRZ/Screenshot+2025-07-30+185128.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Kerrigan Reyes "A veces, es lo que necesitas, no lo que quieres"  $350, 11x14x1 pulgadas, dos libras, acuarela y tinta Esta pieza trata sobre estar sobria durante 31 días en California y querer recaer. El terapeuta me dijo que saliera y practicara la respiración profunda. Me senté debajo del naranjo y procedí a respirar profundamente y después de cinco minutos pude escuchar el viento a través de los árboles, saborear la sal del océano y ver la luz filtrarse a través de los árboles. Y me di cuenta de que a veces las habilidades de supervivencia no siempre se tratan de lo que quieres, sino de lo que necesitas para mantenerte sobrio. Reconfiguró mi punto de vista de lo que antes pensaba que era estúpido y ahora es una herramienta que uso a diario. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921436050-0M6BK123V705QUKQLYQM/Screenshot+2025-07-30+185516.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Kim Ballesteros "Silenciado"  $400, 14.5x10.25x1.25 pulgadas, 1.2 libras, Ensamblaje Encáustico Mientras miraba por la ventana agrietada, noté que los vientos se callaban. El tiempo se detuvo por un momento, y los recuerdos de un lugar que había apreciado, de un hogar lejano lleno de amor y risas, me inundaron. Allí una familia había cocinado cenas en esa cocina, se había calentado junto a la chimenea y se había acurrucado en esas camas. Un trozo de papel tapiz de una cabaña irlandesa abandonada y una tubería oxidada encontrada en una pila de escombros olvidados están rodeados por un azul que se asemeja tanto al cielo como al mar. Creé este ensamblaje después de visitar la isla de Achill en Irlanda hace dos años. Ahora, mientras me siento junto a la cama de mi madre en el hospicio, una vez más siento ese anhelo en la boca del estómago. Extrañando el pasado y lo que fue, extrañando la casa de mi infancia y saber que la vida nunca volverá a ser la misma. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921577160-V5TNIFISFIKS8YD0OJJX/IMG_20250606_190136352_HDR+-+Ky+Reitenour+%281%29.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Ky Reitenour "Retrato de mi abuela"  $400, 2lbs, acrílico sobre lienzo Su alma estaba hecha de flores, pétalos de amor, brotando y floreciendo, una bondad tan fragante que es contagiosa y silenciosa. Como un jardín en plena primavera, tenía espacio para todos. Rosas de sabiduría para los perdidos, margaritas de alegría para los jóvenes y lavanda calma para los que sufren. Su risa suave como el viento a través de flores silvestres, suaves y cálidas, y abrazos que se sentían como estar envueltos en la luz del sol y las enredaderas en flor. Hablaba con la paciencia de las estaciones, nunca apresurándose, siempre sabiendo cuándo era el momento de plantar, el momento de esperar y el momento de cosechar. Sus manos, desgastadas pero elegantes, llevaban el aroma de la tierra y el azúcar, de los macizos de flores con jacintos, llevaba nomeolvides en sus historias, lilas en sus canciones de cuna y caléndulas en la forma en que se dejó ir cuando llegó el momento. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921603896-H1JKRD2JEG2FATE0W44F/Larry+Anderson+The+BLUR%2C+2025+-+Genevieve+Anderson.jpeg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Larry Anderson "El desenfoque"  NFS, 30" x 16" Mi hijo nos envió una foto de sí mismo trabajando en su estudio. Era una toma aérea con efecto ojo de pez. Le preguntamos cómo lo hizo, y en broma dijo que había configurado la cámara de su teléfono con un retraso de tres segundos y la lanzó al aire en la marca de un segundo. Luego envió un mensaje de texto "Jaja, usé un palo para selfies y una configuración de 360 grados en mi teléfono". Mientras tanto, probé el truco de la cámara que describió. Salió borroso. Pero un desenfoque colorido y bien equilibrado. Le envié la foto y dijo que era genial, tan genial que de hecho la explotó y la enmarcó. Adelantémonos a una conversación con un amigo sobre la exhibición de Memento, y comencé a postularme, pero me obsesioné con el proceso. Entonces el "BLUR" enmarcado apareció en mi puerta. Me abroché el cinturón y apliqué. Así que "The BLUR" un Momento de inspiración creativa compartida, es también una inspiración para probar cosas nuevas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921644325-RPT4Y1HH6N8K94PWO1SL/Rocky%27s+Collar+by+Lisa+Vining+-+L+Vin22.jpeg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Lisa Vining "El collar de Rocky"  $250 Foto enmarcada 2 x 20 Adoptado del refugio de animales local en 1978, Rocky era la mascota familiar perfecta: nuestro compañero de juegos y perro guardián general. Le enseñamos a Rocky todos los trucos habituales, pero el más impresionante fue equilibrar un hueso de leche en su nariz para voltearlo y atraparlo en su boca. Para mi padre, Rocky era un compañero de confianza mientras trabajaba en el jardín al sonido de los juegos de béisbol de la radio de transistores. Cuando mi padre falleció, estaba limpiando su armario y me sorprendió encontrar el collar de Rocky escondido en un gancho en la esquina trasera. Ninguno de nosotros sabía que mi padre lo había traído a casa del veterinario. Fue un acto tan dulce y sentimental, un recuerdo del vínculo de una mascota familiar perdida. El collar de Rocky estuvo colgado en el armario de mi padre desde 1990 hasta que lo descubrí en 2013. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753925024583-XCYTUC7W06SFEAIOC4J1/2025+Artwork+%281%29.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Marion Keyes Helmick "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"  NFS. 3 por 6 pulgadas .7 onzas El día que leí el Bad Speller's Dictionary en la escuela secundaria fue, sin lugar a dudas, el momento más irónico de mi viaje akademik. Mi profesora de inglés, la Sra. Thompson, me lo entregó con una sonrisa de complicidad, como si acabara de regalarme el santo grial de las palabras mal escritas. "Marion", dijo, "este libro será tu mejor amigo". Al principio, me sentí ofendida. Quiero decir, ¿qué tan mala pode mi ortografía realmente cer? Pero luego, mientras pasaba las páginas, me di cuenta de algo: ¡había estado deletreando definitivamente como "desafiantemente" durante años! Y no me hagas empezar con "seperado" vs. "separado": ¿quién decidió esas reglas? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753925027957-8HPMO401X2A6BF9M60G1/2025+Artwork.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Marion Keyes Helmick "Play Ball"  NFS 11 x 11 Papel de 1.5 oz dentro del marco El telegrama marcó el final de su viaje, pero no terminó su historia. En la casa de mi abuela, sus cartas permanecían guardadas a buen recaudo, cada una de ellas un recordatorio de la risa, el coraje y el espíritu inquebrantable. En las cartas preguntaba sobre su familia y sus amados Medias Rojas de Boston. Un niño que vivió con valentía y amó profundamente. Su sacrificio fue inconmensurable, pero su legado fue más que la guerra: fue familia, alegría y amor por la vida que ni siquiera el tiempo pudo borrar. Años más tarde, mientras mi abuela veía a los Medias Rojas salir al campo, susurraba su nombre. No en el dolor, sino en la memoria. Porque aunque la guerra se lo llevó, nunca le quitó la calidez de sus palabras, el humor en su corazón o el amor que dejó atrás. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753925091823-0SVXCA8AQT6C7JDF3XJ8/Mary+Lou+Rodriguez.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Mary Lou Rodriguez "Soy Esa Hija Que Le Dieron El Mejor Mañana"  NFS, 19 x 24, Mix Media (lápiz de color, acuarela, carboncillo, bolígrafos de gel, bolígrafos de tinta) Antes de convertirme en la mujer de este retrato, era una hija tejida a partir de historias, luchas y sueños susurrados en actos silenciosos de amor en otro idioma. Esta pieza es un recuerdo de la memoria y la migración, con capas de fe, cultura, esperanza y dolor. Contiene los sacrificios de mi familia y la compleja identidad que me regalaron, un reflejo de todos los que han cruzado fronteras, visibles e invisibles, en busca de algo mejor. La frase "Soy esa hija que le dieron el mejor mañana" es mi voto silencioso: recuerdo. Los veo. Los escucho. Llevo sus esperanzas. El espejo agrietado todavía tiene luz, recordándome que incluso en el quebrantamiento, hay fuerza y gracia. Este arte no es solo mi historia, sino un tributo al peso de muchos viajes, una promesa de vivir completamente arraigada en el pasado y alcanzar el futuro incierto. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753925139985-EOY5D8N9DBW3Z76H741J/meetmeinMDW+-+Nicole+Welch.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Polly Pocket / Nicole Welch "Encuéntrame en Midway"  $150, 12"x12", impresión digitalizada "Meet Me in Midway" es un mapa de los listados de Airbnb de Chicago dentro de las 5 millas del aeropuerto de Midway. Lo creé en Visualización de Datos (MIS 5603 -X10 con la Dra. Lin Wang y el Dr. Jiaxi Luo) durante mi primer semestre del nuevo programa de MBA en Business Analytics en la Escuela de Graduados McAda de la Universidad Estatal de Midwestern. Durante el semestre de otoño de 2021, los CDC, la OMS y las tarjetas de vacunación llenaron los titulares diarios. El consuelo me encontró en forma de educación y amistad. En enero de 2020, se confirmó el primer caso de COVID-19 en EE. UU. Me encontré esa semana en Los Ángeles en el Palacio de Justicia de Stanley Mosk. Conocí a las que se convertirían en mis dos mejores amigas de Chicago en un movimiento de derechos humanos llamado #FREEBRITNEY. Éramos tres jóvenes profesionales que viajamos a través del país para manifestarnos por la justicia social. Mejores amigas para siempre. Mientras trabajaba en la imagen del mapa, accidentalmente me alejé y descubrí lo cerca que estaba el lago Michigan de Chicago. Esto se me ha quedado grabado desde entonces, al igual que mis mejores amigas Jessie y Christy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921435015-GHV32Y4NGISEFOTD9KBJ/Screenshot+2025-07-30+190234.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Sam Eytalis "ENGRAPADO A MIS SÁBANAS"  $50, 5x7in., Impresión en madera Hice una serie de grabados para mi curso de grabado en relieve en la escuela de arte al mismo tiempo que mi primera experiencia en el tratamiento psiquiátrico para mi salud mental. ENGRAPADO A MIS SÁBANAS es un reflejo de mi experiencia con la depresión durante este tiempo. A menudo, cuando me despertaba por la mañana, o cuando intentaba dormir por la noche, simplemente me acostaba y me dejaba pudrir, deseando que el reloj se detuviera y pudiera descansar. Pero el reloj nunca se detuvo y nunca me sentí descansado. Cuando mi cuerpo se adormecía por la estasis, sentía alfileres y agujas. Era como si estuviera engrapado a mis sábanas, sujetándome en su lugar. ¡Este fue mi primer bloque de madera! Usé un ángulo simple, pero con rayos negros alrededor de mi cabeza como una señal de que algo DEBERÍA estar sucediendo, una sensación de pesimismo y una fatalidad impedida. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753925307880-X2WE3WN9E4C0UY59GH2Y/SamEytalis-WHEELOFMANIA+-+Sam+Eytalis.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Sam Eytalis "RUEDA DE MANÍA"  NFS, 14x11in., Impresión en madera reductora Hice una serie de grabados para mi curso de grabado en relieve en la escuela de arte al mismo tiempo que mi primera experiencia en el tratamiento psiquiátrico para mi salud mental. WHEEL OF MANIA es un reflejo de mi experiencia con la hipomanía durante este tiempo. Todavía estaba tratando de navegar por lo que sentía que me estaba sucediendo durante ese tiempo, y esta pieza soy yo llegando a la aceptación de la naturaleza más errática de mi psique, cómo cada pensamiento que parece sacado de un sombrero. No es necesariamente una experiencia negativa, ya que la hipomanía se siente "bien", pero eventualmente, se siente como una ruleta rusa mental. Los colores brillantes, el ángulo torcido, la expresión tonta, las luces arcade y una mancha de movimiento en la rueda reflejan esta sensación de hipomanía demasiado brillante, demasiado enérgica y demasiado divertida. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753925553013-DQ9T7W1CL9PR7KVX6RFN/Schuyler%2BFerris%2BMemento%2Bof%2BMementos.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Schuyler Ferris "Mementos de mementos"  $999, imagen de 29.5" x 30", 15lb, pintura acrílica Esta pintura es un recuerdo mío, con capas de recuerdos que he vivido. El samurái en mi espalda recuerda la disciplina de las artes marciales. La pierna biomecánica habla del dolor y la persistencia de un pasado en el baloncesto. Me siento en mi silla ortopédica, porque esas elecciones de mi pasado todavía resuenan en mi cuerpo hoy. Cada parte de mí tiene un tiempo diferente. Pero debajo de la superficie hay otro yo, literalmente. La textura está construida a partir de tarjetas de presentación antiguas, cada una impresa con un autorretrato del pasado. Así que esta pintura descansa sobre mi antiguo rostro, mis ideas anteriores, ahora pintadas, transformadas. Me estoy pintando no solo para capturar quién soy, sino para preguntarme en quién me estoy convirtiendo. Cada pincelada es una elección. Un recuerdo. Un futuro. Este retrato es un recuerdo dentro de los recuerdos, un archivo en capas de identidad en movimiento. Un recordatorio de que no estamos fijos. Estamos construidos a partir de versiones, siempre cambiando. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921435913-FTUZ2X8WG5HDUWBXK3QT/Screenshot+2025-07-30+190004.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Schuyler Ferris "Primer contacto"  Imagen de 11"x14", 8lb, acrílico Esta pintura es un recuerdo del momento en que comencé a verme a mí mismo de manera diferente. Mi primer autorretrato pintado, marca los primeros pasos para convertirme en pintor, para aprender a traducir el pensamiento en forma. El alienígena que se separa de mi cabeza no es horror. Es una metáfora. Es la extraña e incómoda verdad de quitar capas para revelar algo inesperado, algo honesto. En ese momento, no lo entendí completamente, pero lo sentí. Al igual que la memoria, esta imagen no es fija. Cambia de significado a medida que yo cambio. Lo que comenzó como un instinto crudo se ha convertido en un marcador, una marca de tiempo, una nota visual que dice: aquí es donde comenzó. Ahora se encuentra debajo de mi otra pintura, literalmente, en la textura de tarjetas de presentación prensadas en un nuevo trabajo. Pero este retrato todavía habla. Es un recuerdo del despertar. Un momento de identidad emergente. Un primer vistazo de algo nuevo que intenta surgir. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753925615524-9WQ0XG4CF0JCSIWMNSHU/Sadie%2BRyals%2Bclean.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Sadie Ryals "Abismo"  $50, 11" x 14", 1-2lb, acrílico sobre lienzo Abyss, es una obra de arte que hice en la clase de arte en 7º grado. Pensé en la cita, "Lo que está en la oscuridad siempre sale a la luz", y pensé en esta cita con relación a los problemas de salud mental que he enfrentado (y todavía enfrento). Esta obra de arte muestra cómo en lo peor de mi salud mental lo he trabajado. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921637340-TG8RC2Q3Z20RTJEPE12Y/Scotty+Coppage_Let+It+Ride+-+Walter+Coppage.jpeg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Scotty Coppage "Déjalo montar"  $500, 31x15x32, 23.2 lbs, técnica mixta Nuestros papás ponían sus tarjetas de béisbol de Mickey Mantle en los rayos de sus bicicletas para que sonaran como una motocicleta. Montaron sus bicicletas ruidosamente por todo el vecindario. Tarjetas en perfecto estado que ahora valen una fortuna arrojadas en una bicicleta. Soñaba con mis tarjetas favoritas para pagar la universidad o una casa. La emoción de abrir un paquete de cartas era mi boleto de lotería y recé para que los números coincidieran. Tarjetas amadas y coleccionadas, pero finalmente intactas por su valor futuro de antiguedad. Mis cartas nunca alcanzaron el valor de esos Mickey Mantles arrugados. Mis tarjetas se guardaban en fundas de plástico bloqueadas en el tiempo. ¿Y si no lo fueran? ¿Qué pasaría si en lugar de proteger mis tarjetas, las pongo en mi bicicleta, hago un caballito y les dejo tener el viaje de sus vidas? Visitantes de la galería, agarren la rueda delantera y girenla para darles a estas tarjetas el viaje que nunca tuvieron. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921652683-GPIY25FIZJKF3ZQWMBMI/SeleneB_An+American+Product+-+Selene+B..jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Selene Bianka "Un producto estadounidense"  $180, 16x20, 18oz, Pintura  Soy una estadounidense de primera generación por parte de mi padre y una segunda generación por parte de mi madre; mi papá es de Filipinas, mientras que mi abuela vino de México mientras estaba embarazada de mi mamá. Aunque podría haber estado tan cerca y en contacto con mis raíces, lo descuidé hasta que fui demasiado mayor para darme cuenta de cuánto había perdido de mí misma y de mi herencia, convirtiéndome más en una 'chica estadounidense'. La gente dice que la comida es una parte importante de la identidad cultural, así que aquí utilicé productos alimenticios estadounidenses comunes para eclipsar los productos alimenticios mexicanos y filipinos para representar que me convertí en el “producto estadounidense". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921650910-85BSFWF5RRL2T8ZF3QE0/SeleneB_EndofaSchoolDay+-+Selene+B..jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Selene Bianka "Fin de un día de escuela"  $150, 16x20, 18oz, Pintura Cuando era pequeña, a mi papá le diagnosticaron Guillian-Barre lo que afectaba su capacidad para caminar. Me cuesta recordar cosas, pero un recuerdo que se me quedó grabado fue cuando comencé a viajar en autobús. Me dejaba a 3 cuadras de mi casa y mi papá venía a buscarme en su auto. Después de ser diagnosticado, me recogía en su silla motorizada. Siempre estaba tan emocionada de verlo y exclamaba con orgullo que era mi papá porque nunca vi su enfermedad, solo lo vi como mi papá. Aunque, también estaba emocionada porque sabía que si él era quien venía a recogerme, entonces podía conducirlo de regreso a casa mientras estaba sentada en su regazo. Sin embargo, me complace decir que después de 6 meses de terapia, mi papá pudo caminar y volver a ser independiente. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921656322-9DRHO8FEWZPJDHP8KDW1/ShannonVWordsofATeenageGirl+-+Shannon+Heacock.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Shannon V "Palabras de una adolescente" $1111, 17×17×17 mixed media Cuando era niña, escribía en diarios sobre amigos y familiares, pero sobre todo escribía sobre sentimientos... y chicos. A lo largo de los años, cada década más o menos, he releído algunas de mis palabras. Y aunque solían sentirse más cerca, la mayoría de mis palabras ahora me encuentran tratando de recordar a esa chica. Entonces me doy cuenta de que soy yo, siempre he sido yo y siempre seré yo. Mi madre murió el año pasado. También llevaba diarios. Recuerdo, cuando era adolescente, colarme para leerlos, algunos incluso estaban escritos en código. Los diarios de mi madre ahora están en una caja, en un armario, en mi casa. Ahora tengo acceso a ellos, y aunque están disponibles, con permiso concedido, no me atrevo a leerlos. Y me pregunto, ¿mis diarios estarán en un armario, en una caja? Quizás... pueden ser una luz. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753925504838-857U0WGZN83VMUW04UC3/Sherry%2BMason.png 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Sherry Mason "La galería de arte de Rexee"  $200 15" de largo 8 1/2" de alto 6" de profundidad Trabajé como empleado de asistencia en la Escuela Secundaria Barwise durante los últimos 9 años. Comencé a poner un dinosaurio (Rexee) en mi mostrador principalmente para celebrar cumpleaños, pero luego se descarriló por completo. Rexee viajó a Japón, tocó en el piano bar y les desea a todos un feliz todo a medida que pasaban las estaciones. Un día tuve la idea de que Rexee abriera una galería de arte. Podías tomar una obra de arte, pero tenías que dejar una a cambio. Guardé papel de 3 "x 3" en el mostrador frente a la galería. Puse 3 piezas pequeñas y me abrí a los niños y maestros. Se convirtió en un centro interactivo de actividad, ya que tanto los maestros como los niños promovían su trabajo. Se convirtió en su propio memento creador cuando los niños y los maestros se llevaron a casa la obra de arte que les hablaba y la reemplazaron a su vez. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921434072-ZAOZJV82A2GDU7B7RKM0/Screenshot+2025-07-30+191018.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Simon Welch "El vuelo más largo"  $100, 11x14, menos de 5lb, placa de aluminio impresa En 2024, mi esposa y yo hicimos nuestro primer viaje internacional en pareja a Japón y Corea. Esta fue una experiencia angustiosa por muchas razones, pero ninguna tan trágica como la enfermedad que le sucedió a nuestra perra Lindsay la mañana de nuestro vuelo. Después de llamar a la línea de emergencia de nuestro veterinario y tomarla con fuerza en el automóvil, nos enteramos de que tenía un derrame cerebral vestibular y lo más probable es que no se recuperara. Reprogramamos nuestro vuelo y esperamos buenas noticias, pero no llegó ninguna. A la mañana siguiente tomamos la difícil decisión de dejarla ir tranquilamente por consejo de nuestro veterinario. Desafortunadamente, no pudimos llorar en paz ya que inmediatamente tuvimos que conducir hasta el aeropuerto para tomar nuestro vuelo. Lloramos todo el camino y la mayor parte del vuelo. Te extrañamos Lindsay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921434061-FCJWCROTGE6SZ095FDVQ/Screenshot+2025-07-30+191055.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Simon Welch "Viajeros"  $100, 11x14, menos de 5lb, placa de aluminio impresa Si tuviera que describirme como algo, sería como una persona hogareña. Disfruto tener un espacio estable para respirar y ordenar mis pensamientos. Con algunas indicaciones de mi pareja, hice mi primer viaje internacional en 2024. Este no solo fue mi primer viaje fuera del país, sino un vuelo de 13 horas a Japón y luego un corto salto a Corea del Sur. Esta foto fue tomada momentos después de que se derramaran lágrimas ante la belleza desatada de una exhibición de arte interactiva y realmente captura la felicidad y el amor que sentimos el uno por el otro. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921639793-AK1MU8IZYS830G2LHPSB/TheRodneyMona+Lesley+-+THE+RODNEY.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - La "Mona Lesley" de Rodney  $1000, 24x36, Óleo sobre lienzo Esta pintura es de un momento temprano en mi viaje de pintura cuando experimenté por primera vez con pinturas al óleo. Quería ser el Leonardo da Vinci negro y pintar mi versión de la Mona Lisa usando a mi amiga artista Lesley como inspiración. Aunque esta pintura ha estado en exhibiciones en múltiples lugares a lo largo de los años y mis habilidades ya han crecido. Sigue siendo una de las mejores pinturas que he hecho. No solo por las técnicas utilizadas, sino porque es un recordatorio amoroso de los buenos momentos que pasé con Lesley mientras exploraba el medio que primero me asustó pero que luego amaría. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921647374-TTYQ52VWNZFY97CUVB4W/TriciaSeymour-BarrierPurpleCanapy+-+Tricia+Seymour.jpg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Tricia Seymour-Barrier "Dosel púrpura"  $75, Tamaño: 12"x12", Pintura acrílica-Técnica mixta texturizada  Dosel púrpura de ensueño Mi habitación de la infancia era un lugar de magia e imaginación, pintado en el tono más suave de lavanda. Este color, elegido con cariño por mis padres, transformó la habitación en un remanso de tranquilidad. La pieza central de este espacio encantador fue mi cama con dosel púrpura. Adornado con telas transparentes y fluidas que caían en cascada con gracia por los lados, era nada menos que la cama de una princesa. Esta cama no era solo un lugar para dormir; era un santuario para los sueños despiertos y la creatividad. Me quedaba allí durante horas, imaginando grandes aventuras y tierras lejanas. El dosel, con sus cortinas suaves y ondulantes, se convirtió en las velas de un barco o en las paredes de un fuerte secreto. Fue un escenario para mis historias creativas y cuentos de hadas. A medida que crecía, la habitación evolucionó, pero la esencia de ese mágico dosel púrpura permaneció, un recordatorio de que el mundo está lleno de infinitas posibilidades. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57aa88956b8f5b8163fd125b/1753921583992-A7W6UBGL55CR2Q9MI35B/IMG_7777+-+Veronica+Wong+%281%29.jpeg 2025 MEMENTO gallery Spanish - Verónica "El árbol de los sueños"  $998, 37.5 x 26.5 x 1.5, 7 lbs, acrílico  Esta obra de arte es un recuerdo de mi escape de la infancia. Inspirado en The Faraway Tree de Enid Blyton, refleja mi profundo amor por la aventura, el misterio y los nuevos mundos. Cuando era niña, mi realidad era sombría y caótica, pero en los libros encontraba magia. Me imaginé trepando al árbol encantado y descubrir una nueva tierra, cada vez, sobre las nubes. La colorida ciudad en esta pintura representa esas tierras secretas, llenas de maravillas, luz e historias que esperan desarrollarse. Los patrones arremolinados, el sol brillante y las flores en flor llevan la esperanza y la alegría que una vez anhelé. Esta pieza captura ese momento de imaginación pura en el que pude olvidar mi dolor, aunque solo fuera por un tiempo. No es solo una pintura, es un recuerdo del lugar al que corrí cuando el mundo se sentía demasiado pesado. Un recordatorio de que la belleza, incluso imaginada, puede darnos fuerza para sobrevivir. http://www.9thstreetstudios.com/2025xmasxplosion daily 0.75 2025-11-30
