Participants will get assistance working through the process of translating their written reflections into visual art, using various mediums such as painting and drawing.
Montaysia describes her artwork and process by saying: “My work is rooted in expanding Western figurative traditions through paintings and drawings that engage both the physical and spiritual, the past and the present. Influenced by my lineage, I look to conjure my dreams and hopes on the canvas and contemplate how my ancestors and community exist within them.”
This program is offered in collaboration with Raw Femme Media.

The Mesquite Library began as a 2,008-square-foot facility in May 1990 and was expanded to 5,464-square-feet in 2012. After a 1.63-acre parcel was donated by the City of Mesquite, a new 13,313-square-foot library was constructed and the former building was converted into the library’s Learning Center, which features the EmployNV Career Hub. The library now houses 29,000 volumes and serves a community of over 21,000 residents.
