I will be exhibiting 15 images from last year’s trip to Cuba.

From the artist statement: “I traveled to Cuba last fall with the group Professional Women Photographers and spent a week roaming the streets of Havana, Cienfuegos and the small town of Trinidad. You won’t find a more photogenic place than Cuba. Everywhere you look are rich textures, beautiful color and interesting faces. And yes, those cars…you can’t help but love those cars. The streets of Cuba are so distinctive and lively; it is a place like no other.”
