In the exhibition, Recollections, artist Marina Cruz-Garcia once again explores the theme of memory.  She elves into poignant but jettisoned memories of her relations, recreating them on canvas with new and realized significance to deliver an intimate contribution in family history.  Each piece retells a story through Marina's perspective.  Whether lonely or charming, sweet or bittersweet, the records Marina narrates become shaped into her own.  Tinted in a brown glaze that induces an air of nostalgia, the works offer an expressive disclosure of reminiscences that touch upon Marina's circle of loved ones.
