We are happy to share the spaces where Pearmama art is being acquired, highlighted and celebrated in all of the creative realms: print, video, the digital space, analog, museums, galleries + community spaces. Gratitude to the ancestors for every opportunity + open road. We humbly share parts of our expansion with you.
Denise received a 2024 grant from Inland So Cal Creative Corps as a Creative Strategist for Ontario Museum of History and Art to create Follow the Plants: 10 unique designs illustrating plants from the museum’s native plant garden. The designs were turned into posters with the intention of providing free posters for the community. There is also a Spanish version of the posters available as well.
Pearmama is in full gratitude for the painting titled “Mother’s Milk” being acquired by Altamed Art Collection, one of the largest collectors of Chicano Art in the world. We’d like to thank artist + curator Yolanda Gonzalez and Susana Smith Bautista for facilitating this acquisition.
The artist is thrilled to announce the acquisition of three giclée art works by renowned Chicano art collector Cheech Marin in August 2023. We appreciate Marin’s generous support of Denise and her work + his continued support of femme Chicano/a/x artists. In addition to Cheech, we would also like to thank Maria Esther Fernandez, former Artistic Director of The Cheech + Melissa Richardson Banks of CauseConnect for facilitating this acquisition.
