Lala tells about her exhibit: “art give us love because we need love , art bring us commitment because we long for it - art bring us joy because we want to continue finding joy - - art get us closer to that community/
family we desire - we wanna art to live in us and come thru us so we can carve the future we dream of".
Currently rooted in the Hudson Valley in Poughkeepsie, NY, Lala was born and raised in Medellín, Colombia - "a land of strong mountains, ancient lakes and careful campesinos."
"Drawing inspiration from the abundant nature surrounding me, recognizing the inherent richness within each individual, manifesting itself through the body and the journey of life. This inspiration
finds expression within my earthy art, spanning ceramics, wood carving, painting, and printing blocks."
