Hear Our Voices

Hear Our Voices is a curated exhibit of paintings by 18 women artists from Latin America, living and working in Houston and the Greater Metropolitan area including the Woodlands, Katy, Richmond and Sugarland. 

​

Many Genres are represented, including geometric and gestural abstraction, as well as figuration. In talking to the artists--who come from 7 Latin American countries--their voices are expressing themes of family, ancestry, and nature even in non-representational art. 

​

Color, form and gesture are part of their vocabulary, formed during their years immersed in rich cultures of the Southern Hemisphere. 

​

Arielle Masson, multicultural herself, has curated this exhibition with the deep understanding that each woman's voice comes from a unique place, and is unapologetic for the many styles and techniques represented. Ms. Masson was instrumental in the formation of the group LAWAH-Latin American Women in Art, Houston; most of the artists have been her students at the Glassell School of Art of the MFAH, where she has taught for the past twenty years.
