I’m so excited to introduce ISLA: Interdisciplinary Studio for Latinx Arts! ✨🎨📚

This has been a dream of mine—to build a community where creatives can connect through art, culture, and collaboration. ISLA is just getting started, and I can’t wait to grow this venture with you all!

We’re kicking things off this March with two ways to join in:

📖 Latinx Book Club – Our first read is Finding Latinx by Paola Ramos, with a meetup at the end of the month.
💻 Artist Anti-Social (Online Meet-Up) – A casual virtual gathering to connect, share, and chat about art.

I’d love for you to be part of this journey! Follow along @isla.qns for updates and more info #ISLAqns #LatinxCreatives #ArtCommunity #misla #freeworkshops

👀🖌️ Artist Anti-Social – an online meet & greet for Latinx artists looking to connect… cautiously.
Not everyone thrives in traditional networking spaces, and that’s okay. Whether you’re introverted, socially selective, or just anti-social in the best way, this is for you. A low-pressure space to meet other Latinx artists, share ideas, and build community—without the awkward small talk. 🔗Link in bio!

🎨✨ “I paint with a new abandonment, almost trying to deny the fact that I too will someday pass on, and the only thing remaining will be the images that I leave behind.” – Carlos Almaraz
Carlos Almaraz (1941–1989) was a Mexican-American artist and activist whose work captured the vibrancy and struggles of the Chicano movement. His paintings, filled with bold colors and dynamic energy, continue to inspire generations of Latinx artists. 🖌️🔥
At ISLA, we are trying to celebrate Latinx artists past and present—those who have paved the way and those creating their own legacies today.

“Do not paint with your hands: the painting should be born in your soul, pass through your brain, and then your emotions must spill it onto a canvas, panel, or wall.” – María Izquierdo

Art is more than just technique—it’s feeling, vision, and expression. At ISLA, we celebrate the artists who create from the soul, bringing their stories to life through their work. What inspires you to create?
