✨ THE ARTIST ISSUE IS HERE ✨⁠
⁠
Ah, the Artist Issue … I’m not entirely sure whether, when we planned the first edition of this issue in 2015, it was intended to become an annual cover feature. Yet here we are, nine Artist Issues later, and it remains a favorite — for our readers and for me.⁠
⁠
Managing editor Alexa Rodriguez and contributing writer Vanessa Perez brilliantly take readers into the minds and visionary worlds of our five featured artists for 2023. Beginning on page 42, the dynamic writing duo zoom in on the extraordinary gifts of Noe Perez, Payton Koranek, Ricardo Ruiz, Sonia Ortega and Jesus De La Rosa. In each individual profile, you’ll learn the life experiences, cultural identities, societal messaging and wondrous inspiration behind the works produced by these fine artists.⁠
⁠
Rodriguez shares a similar sentiment in that the power of art “…is a summation of the solitary human experience in which everyone is different, though often with a thread connecting us together.” My interpretation of that connecting thread is the desire we as humans have to be seen, heard, valued and given the chance to live a life of hope and freedom. On page 16, the successful entrepreneur and PRIDE Corpus Christi Board President Jonathan Swindle reminds us of this fact.⁠
⁠
Other art-filled stories line our pages this month, such as a chronicle of six female metalsmiths forging incredible art and an even more incredible bond, a look inside the masterpiece of professional art advisor Morgane Heinz Blackmon’s home and an exploration of the exhibition “Daydreaming Ourselves Awake,” which explores the history of Pride Month and celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community through the eyes of talented local artists.⁠
⁠
After reading through this issue, I hope you feel inspired, and are reminded of the fact that our individual stories and experiences in this life might just be the thing that connects us all. ⁠
