MEET IVEN
Having challenges in locating a gallery in which to show my art, which I call FACES, San Miguel once again created a vortex of magic to allow me to bring Galeria Potranca to life! If not for walking by the locale that is now Galeria Potranca and stopping to greet a friend talking with my (soon-to-be) landlord, I would not be writing this today. I realized the space was not only large enough to accommodate my art but also space to accommodate other artists and even host future workshops! It quickly occurred to me that there are many artists in the area who were in my same position of finding space to show their work. Thus, in a matter of hours, the idea of focusing on emerging artists came to light. Being in love with my new hometown and adopted country, I knew I wanted to focus on emerging Mexican artists.
