Artist Cecilia Concepción Alvarez arrived in Washington State in 1975 and developed a national reputation for her paintings. Her art reflects her experiences as a Chicana/Cubana as she expresses her own vision of beauty and strength. Latinas living in the Pacific Northwest reflect in a variety of ways Alvarez’s views about combining selected cultural traditions with environmental concerns for today and for the future.
