July Artist Spotlight - Juan Carlos Medina

This month's featured artist is Juan Carlos Medina. His art will be on display through the end of July. Stop by the cafe 7am-6pm Monday through Friday and 8am-6pm Saturday/Sunday. 

 

Meet Juan Carlos Medina - 
I believe life is short. We take each fleeting moment for granted. Sometimes fear makes us close our eyes and we miss opportunities in our daily life to enjoy it. My art is bold and colorful, reflecting the idea that life should be celebrated. In Mexico Dia De Los Muertos is a celebration of life not death. We celebrate the life of our loved ones who have passed to a better life in
heaven. I hope my art can show the beauty of our short life and hope for a greater afterlife with God.
I’m a self taught artist who’s been painting since childhood. I was born in Chihuahua Mexico and was raised in California. I also lived on the Navajo Reservation in Chinle Arizona for six years and did various workshops with talented Navajo artist. My work is inspired by what I have experienced through my culture and religious beliefs.
