Tiara Young
Mis Raíces y Mi Alma (My roots and my Soul)
This exhibition focuses on the artwork I have created to represent and connect with my Hispanic culture. Over the course of 3 years I have put a lot of time and effort into reconnecting with my culture, and representing this through paintings has been an amazing way to do so. Many of the pieces focus on traditions, events that have happened in my life, and feelings. I have created these pieces to show people that my culture is beautiful and that they should experience it too through artwork.
The other pieces in this exhibition represent my growth and how I want to continue exploring different themes in my career as a Latina artist.
Artist Bio: Tiara Young is a 20-year-old Honduran artist. She has been drawing ever since she was a little girl, and her dream job is to be a full-time artist. She has won several awards and has had her artwork in multiple exhibitions and shows. She spends most of her free time painting or drawing and currently attends Iowa State University for graphic design and illustration.
