Next month, the La Jolla Art Association will feature artist Valerie Saiag. Valerie earned a dual degree in Art History and Studio Art from UC San Diego. Painting and sculpture are central to her art practice. She has presented her research by invitation at UCSD, Berkeley, Stanford and Harvard and has taught sections on writing, translation and history through her alma mater. According to Valerie, "It is a pleasure to share art. Culture in all its forms, from linguistic to artistic is the creativity which makes us fully human. Since childhood, most of us innately know that we must create. We draw, we paint, we build sandcastles, we gather sticks and pebbles. we have been creating art across the globe since our caveman days. Today, scientific research has shown that this creativity is mandatory for humankind's mental and physical well being. If any among us doubted the research, our days of COVID-era isolations should have proved it to us when, worldwide, people started gathering artwork and plants to make their homes comfortable--a creative endeavor in itself. This is not a capricious whim, rather our creativity is our greatest need and greatest capacity. It comes shining though even for the greatest scientists, as it is their creative intellect which allows them to innovate. I wish to bring hope and joy to those who are drawn to my art. May it bring them a sense of peace in these days and always." This month's demonstration will focus on how local, national and international artists brand themselves through their artist statements, biographies and resumes or CVs. Participants will compare and contrast real-life examples. Artists are welcome to share their own information for group feedback. Registration is required and can be accessed here.
