Latino Arts/Ohio 2008


While I was home, Mom and I were able to go to an Art exhibit which feature my Aunt's work. These are self portraits. I love what my mom said, "She really is a lot prettier than these painting." I would agree. My aunt is beautiful inside and out!

Being a labor and delivery nurse, I really loved this display. Her is my cousin Daniel, and the pure miracle of birth. I have never seen anything quite like this, but I would not count myself as a scholar of art works either.

I love this one, his sweet little face still floating in amniotic fluid. It is amazing how they all fit.

So hopefully, I am not in trouble for taking pictures. I am pretty sure you are not supposed to at an exhibit.

Here is an article I found online while looking up more info about the exhibit.
