Karma Leigh

“Líneas de Sangre,” or “Bloodlines,” reimages the iconic “Mestizo Head” created by renowned Colorado Chicano artist Emanuel Martínez. "Mestizo Head" portrays a profile of an indigenous mother, a profile of a Spanish father, and, in the center, a face of their union: a Mestizo/Chicano. Mestizo or Mestiza is a term used for a person with European and Indigenous American ancestry. This new mural recognizes three women from Colorado, who represent different bloodlines: The Pachuca, the Mestiza, and the Indigenous woman.

Pepe Lozano

I've always seen the world through a different lens. You can say that my perspective is driven from my mixed cultural upbringing and quest of self-identity. My passion for Photography is fueled through my travels, "Photography forces me to slow down, allowing me to see things from a different perspective and appreciate my surroundings". Traveling is also what sparked my love for Art as I started collecting art from around the world. Intrigued by many different techniques, I became self-taught in; Photography, Digital Design, Painting, and Silk Screen as a way to further explore Art within my own Photography. I consider myself a storyteller, and my art a reflection of my life journey. Every piece has a story that in some way, shape or form has influenced my life.
