“Persona,” states Austin artist Ana Stapleton, “are recent paintings that explore the selves we long to be, the ones we embrace, the ones we hide from. ‘Persona’ is a bit of word play, as it means person in Spanish. There is a tension between the cultural expectations of growing up Mexican female (to be polite, agreeable, supportive, demure) and being a fully expressed person with flaws, opinions, and noise.” Come and meet Ana at the March opening.
