Mine include shells and a stone with the word INSPIRE inscribed. The shells recall the year I taught dance throughout the Caribbean and how afraid I was at times. “But it’s good to be afraid,” they remind, “you pay closer attention when you’re afraid.”

Write of Way Write The stone is from a friend who said I inspired her daughter, Rose. “Really?” I said, “Because I remember thinking you wouldn’t like what I had to say.” Why did I say it anyway? For the same reason I keep my shells close, to remind me how fear is a huge part of it. And by “it” I mean my work, the most essential part of my life. But saying this is what I was afraid of. It would have been safer to say not that my work is the most essential part, but second to love, family, the kind of thing people say all the time. I wondered, too, if I should have directed Rose toward a higher paying career to help drive the economy. But my driving advice is more: inch along until you find the work you really want to do. You may be thinking, “What, are you kidding me? That won’t pay the bills.” But I’ve come to believe that money is overrated. Too little is horrible, but less is not the end of the world. I don’t know how much of this insight comes from being a woman or an artist, or both, but I can’t stop trying to figure out the conflict between what we really want and what we’re told we should want. And why it so often keeps us from pursuing our dreams. I told Rose that if we have the courage to do what we love, it’s our best career choice. But in order to continue, most of us can’t fall prey to owning all the things people buy to try and ensure their happiness. After college, I worked as a waitress…until I threw a drink at a patron who said an inappropriate thing with his hand on my behind. I’m glad I was fired. Because the money was good. I might have stayed too long and not got on with my dream of opening a dance studio. Well, obviously dance studios don’t pay all that well, either. So I found an affordable town to move to. My life moved on. And so did Rose’s. Rose dreamed of becoming a writer. But she went to work for the huge, thrusting, economy-driven tech world dedicated to making more and more stuff we don’t need. The last time I heard from her? February 2014. She gave reasons why she had no time to write. So often I’ve wondered what would have happened if she’d kept at it? If she’d allowed herself to go without mortgaging a condo and all the trendy furniture to fill it? I know how delicate a balance between passion and a lofty paycheck is. I also know how many well-paid people I meet who can’t remember the last time they felt excited about their work. Recently I came across a display of stones like mine. And I was thrilled to find my favorite noun inscribed: PERSISTENCE. I lost touch with Rose. But I keep my eye out for that book she always wanted to write. Marylou Sanelli Marylou Sanelli works as a writer and literary speaker. Her latest book is A Woman Writing.

Museum of Northwest Art • La Conner, Washington Art • La Conner, Museum of Northwest (inspired by Hokusai) descends on them. Arreguín might be offering a metaphor for the current challenges of human migration. Another variant of abstraction by Fulgencio Lazo links geometric abstraction with indigenous symbolism. His palette of oranges, reds, and blue/ greens invokes the warmth of his native Oaxaca where he lives part of the year. Among the realist artists, ardently feminist and anti-capitalist Cecilia Alvarez fills her portraits with specific but, cloaked, references. “La Rumbera Mayor,” the Daniel DeSiga • “Cultivando” artist explains, “speaks of the mixing of 1972, oil on canvas, 41 x 41 inches Museum of Northwest Art • La Conner, WA the races/cultures creating a power image “Beyond Aztlán” refutes that limitation of a woman of color.

Particularly poems like those of sculptures that combine humor, realism, Ramon Ledesma, who grew up as a migrant worker, resonated with the visual art. Alma R. Gómez’s large paintings celebrate her family with indigenous and natural symbolism in “Las Tortolitas del Rio Grande” and with matter of fact everyday details in “Los Compadres.” As in Gómez’s paintings, many poets emphasized the crucial importance of family for farmworkers. In another approach to realism, Daniel DeSiga’s “Cultivando,” places us on the ground looking up at the farmworker, bathed in a halo-like blazing sun, as his hoe thrusts toward us.

In short, this group exhibition brings together some of the many dynamic artists among contemporary Mexican/ Chicana/o art in the Northwest.
