Sonia Romero
Sonia Romero is based in Northeast LA and works out of her studio called She Rides the Lion. She’s worked extensively with various communities, collaborating with the surrounding environment and culture to produce art that is truly representative. Her artistic vision is flexible, which allows her art works to be a service to many communities. Romero has been commissioned for large public projects through the Community Redevelopment Agency, including an installation at the Westlake/MacArthur Park Metro Station. She has also taught printmaking and public art courses at LA County High School for the Arts and worked with youth from L.A. Commons, Heart Project, and Plaza de la Raza.
Shizu Saldamando
Shizu Saldamando has contributed experimental art works to the LA art scene. Best known for her pen drawings and non-traditional canvasses like bed sheets and handkerchiefs, she’s had her work featured in experimental media exhibitions and at both LACMA and the Smithsonian. Her pieces are inspired by the photographs that she takes of her family and close friends. Saldamando is the daughter of a Japanese-American mother and a Mexican-American father, though her work is not all defined by her bi-cultural identity. She is a co-founder of Monte Vista Projects, a self-determining space for experimental art and conversation in LA. Recently, she has expanded into the field of tattooing.
