Desi Swoope: Abuela's House

A solo exhibition of 15 mixed-media works on canvas sees Desi Swoope stitch together her past and present in order to guide her future, keeping family, culture, and heritage in the foreground. Hosted by Supermarket Gallery, "Abuela's House" opens on Saturday, September 14, at Grand Opening Gallery in Wynwood. Swoope's works utilize mixed media, acrylic paint, and hand-sewn found fabrics, a combination that innately draws viewers closer to the canvas to get lost in the portrait or landscape. Swoope credits her great-grandmother with inspiring her artistic techniques and helping her realize her creative potential. - MIAMI NEW TIMES 2024
