Alma Gomez

Alma Gomez is my art 109 drawing foundations teacher. For such a talented woman, she is very humble and close to her roots. She has done exhibitions all across Idaho, Utah and Nevada, and also does art work for Boise State as well. Several of her pieces reside in the student union building at BSU, as well as over in the Education building, and I believe one in the Morrison center.

A lot of her work has a spanish feel to it. Usually portraying people of Latin American heritage in them, or titled something in spanish. Most of the men are dark haired, leaving that spanish or latin feel, as many europeans are blond. You can tell she draws a lot of inspiration from her roots, as she incorporates her Latin roots into her paintings. Her still life pictures are often times non representational, or they have no real cultural feel to them. They are done by Alma, but she does not always incorporate her heritage into her pieces.

I had a hard time getting pictures of her work for my blog, as most of them are copyrighted and I am not allowed to paste them here. Bummer- I know.
But this is Alma herself-
