Presa House Gallery presents "Present Tense" by Austin artist Wendy Yamilett, whose oil paintings explore themes of identity, race, and socio-economic status.
In "Present Tense," Yamilett uses various subjects in her paintings, mostly family and friends she photographs to capture the individual uniqueness, representing the varying racial, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds. Yamilett also frequently uses herself as the central figure to reference her personal experiences in finding a sense of place while assimilating within American society.
Following the opening reception, the exhibition will remain on display by appointment only through March 27.
