Opening Reception: 
Saturday, June 4, 2022 from 6PM to 8PM

Exhibition runs from June 4 to June 30, 2022
On Saturday, June 4th, 2022, La Peña Gallery will inaugurate Learning from Light: Night and Day, a solo exhibit of Cecilia Colomé. 
Cecilia is a painter and printmaker who has made Austin her home since 1988. Cecilia was a student of the late painter Amalia Baquedano in Mérida, México, and studied printmaking with the late Juan José Beltrán in México City. Cecilia holds a B.Sc. in physics from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and a Ph.D. in astrophysics from UT-Austin. 
​As long as she can remember, Cecilia’s life has had two distinctive daily shifts: science and art. She currently works as a science and math editor during the day, and at night she paints.
