Women in celebration, woman in contemplation. Los Angeles native Sonya Fe and Sacramento’s Simona Hernandez bring their insight and experience to La Raza Galería Posada in a shared exhibition opening to the public on Saturday, March 13. The artist reception will be on Friday, March 12. La Raza Galería Posada is a non-profit, multi-disciplinary cultural center and public space serving the Sacramento community, offering Latino/Chicano and Native arts exhibitions, art education programs, workshops, performances/concerts and serves as a community gathering place.

Public programs held during the exhibit will include workshops by both artists, film screenings, artist talks, and other culturally significant and educational programming. A full schedule is listed below.

Fe, one of eight children born to a Jewish-American mother and a Mexican-American father in a memorable Los Angeles neighborhood, says "I paint women because that's what I know, and I understand situations that happen to them – and when I paint children, I don't want to paint them too cutesy, I want to paint them with respect, as little human beings. I have to put human figures in my work. That's how I make contact."

Hernandez also comes from a large family, lived in many Southwestern cities and small towns, eventually settling in the Sacramento area. “My art is figurative…comprised of familiar images: People in celebration and in struggle, buildings and rooms that provoke emotion, and the textures and color of nature” reveals Hernandez. “They all tell a story, pay homage, and are lessons of life.”

Both prefer to work in vibrant oils with bold designs and intense colors. Hernandez also loves printmaking and is involved in a project in progress to make Sacramento’s printmaking artists more visible. Original oils, giclee prints and woodcut prints will be priced to sell in both rooms of the midtown gallery.

      To have such great artists in Sacramento is a privilege and tribute to our rich cultural history. I've known Sonya for many years and am so proud of her success! Thank you Glaeria for having this... Expand
