PATRICIA CORREIA GALLERY

MUJERES: A CHICANA GROUP SHOW

Exhibition Dates: May 15 - June 19, 2004

Reception Date: Saturday, May 15, 5-8 pm

Patricia Correia is pleased to showcase works by eight prominent chicana artists: Judy Baca, Barbara Carrasco, Elsa Flores, Margaret Garcia, Yolanda Gonzalez, Ester Hernandez, Elizabeth Perez, and LINDA VALLEJO. All eight artists use art as a vehicle to preserve traditions of their culture; confront issues of heritage, race, gender, class; and/or reflect or document issues about their people. By overcoming discrimination these women have manage to create empowering art based on their lives and experiences as females and minorities. They look at the world with multiple points of view: as artists, as women, and as persons of color.

LINDA VALLEJO will exhibit several new works

from the Los Cielos: Thunder, Lightning and Rain 2004 Series

Thunder, Lightning, and Rain II, 2004, 24" x 48", Oil on Canvas
