​Artist's Statement
This show is mainly about people and the places they create for their comfort, for their happiness. Because we built our Dwellings to be happy in them, don’t we?
I recently read in an Art Magazine an article that ended with the question: Should Art be risky, dangerous, offensive and shocking?!
My personal answer is NO.  Art is my refuge from the chaos I wake up to every morning. If Art is my refuge, why would I make it shocking and offensive? Aren’t we offended enough by the things we see, hear and read every day? Let’s look at the term Fine Arts, and it’s translation in a few other  languages:
Spanish: Bellas Artes = Beautiful Arts
French:  Beaux Arts = Beautiful Arts
Italian:  Belle Arti = Beautiful Arts
German: Schöne Künste = Beautiful Arts
Portuguese: Belas Artes = Beautiful Arts
Fernando Botero, the famous Colombian artist once said: ‘The true objective in Art is the pursuit of happiness, but the world seems to have forgotten about it’. I totally agree: ‘The true objective in my Art is the pursuit of happiness’!

Poet’s Statement on the "Interior Design" Paintings
I envisioned the poems to tell a narrative of the girl in each painting. I named her Veronica. The name just came to me and when you look it up it means "True image; honest image" I feel the girl in the paintings is trying to find herself. It is also the name of the woman from the bible who gave Jesus her handkerchief and his face became imprinted on it. Interesting! Laura Peña - Poet.
