“Sueño de padre y su hija”: A Mural Unveiling Celebrating the Work of Anabel Gómez

Artist Statement: My name is Anabel Gómez and I am a college student working on a mural with my father. He immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico in his early twenties hoping for the American Dream. Although there was a language barrier between us for most my life, we were able to connect through our shared love for art. He has always loved drawing and taught me how to draw when I was younger. Despite our broken English/Spanish and generational differences, we have always found ways to show our support and appreciation for one another. I hope to illustrate the journey we have made together overcoming our language and cultural barriers with this shared artwork.

This event is a FREE for all ages!
– Snacks provided
– Music to be announced
– Silent auction to support & promote Red Salmon Arts

“Sueño de padre y su hija”: Una inauguración del mural celebrando el arte de Anabel Gómez

Declaración de artista: Mi nombre es Anabel Gómez y soy una estudiante universitaria trabajando con mi padre en un mural. Él se inmigro a los E.E.U.U de México de unos veinte años para perseguir el sueño americano. Aunque hay una barrera de lengua entre nosotros por la mayoría de mi vida, conectamos por nuestro admiración mutual del arte. A mi padre siempre le ha encantado dibujar y mi enseño desde joven como hacerlo. A pesar de que hablamos en un español/ingles roto y nuestras diferencias de generaciones, siempre encontramos formas para apoyar y apreciar uno al otro. Espero ilustrar nuestro camino que hemos hecho juntos para superar nuestras barreras de lengua y cultura con nuestra colaboración artística.

Este evento es gratis y para todas las edades.
