The Artemis Project:
Named after the Greek Goddess of Health and Vigor, the Artemis Project is an informal peer group of women veteran artists and those in active service exploring their “inner artist”, especially as a way of processing experiences of trauma and post-traumatic stress (PTSS/PTSD) unique to women in the military.
Described as “non-therapy therapy”, the Artemis Group has staged Austin exhibitions at the Samaritan Center, the UU church on Grover Ave, the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest, and at the Carver Museum, since 2014.
Exhibition dates: May 10, 2023 - June 10, 2023
Reception: June 10, 2023 from 6-8PM

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.
