Soñar con Jardines – Seven Women Artists

"Soñar que pasea por un jardín significa que lo tiene todo en esta vida…"  " Dreaming of walking in a garden means you have everything in this life…"– Diccionario de Interpretación de los Sueños   (Dictionary of Dream Interpretation)

This exhibit is about the intimate art of looking within, and the special ability that women have to find strength and sustenance in the interior spaces of the psyche.  In celebration of International Women’s month, Soñar con Jardines highlights seven women whose journey through the garden of dreams produces a vision for the here and now.
