Portugal & Guanajuato
Artists: Goretii Carvalho (Portugal) & Alondra Quiroz-Piceno (Guanajuato)
Goretti’s Statement:
Passion for music and art was inspired during my upbringing on the enchanted island of Terceira, Azores; encased with mother, nature’s breathtaking beautiful surroundings, and Portuguese culture. As a young adult, settling in the quaint coastal town of Watsonville with its Portuguese community further my transition with minimum arduousness. It was here that I encountered my wonderful husband of 52 years, and blessed with four sons and six grandchildren. I owned a business here in town for 25 years, where I met the most wonderful people and created friendships that will last a lifetime. It is with great pleasure, sharing the transfer of the inner beauty of my imagination and pleasant memories of beautiful Terceira Island, onto canvas for the public eye to behold.
Alondra’s Statement:
Being a public artist is something I would have never thought I would be. It means a lot to me especially knowing various people in my hometown will know of my art. It is a really major milestone I have accomplished as a teenage artist, and it is truly inspiring for others as well. And it makes me feel proud of myself and look forward to much more things.
