Museum of Art features Are You with Me?
LAS CRUCES - Are You with Me? by contemporary Chicana artist Sonya Fe opens May 7, and runs through July 24 at the Las Cruces Museum of Art, 491 N. Main St.
Fe’s work reflects social and cultural issues with themes centering around women and children. Her use of bold brush strokes and vibrant colors creates beautiful dynamic paintings, visual stories of women’s place in society and childhood innocence in a rough world.
“I want the viewer to stand with me while looking at the work. I want them to feel, see, and understand what I am saying to not be left behind. Are you with me?”

Itâs not what you thought. The period between the presidencies of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt was not a historical wasteland punctuated only by Reconstruction and racial tension, railroads and the accumulation of great riches. The political figures of that age were not all ciphers in facial hair. The American people were not bystanders as the world was roiled by revolution. The country didnât slumber for decades.
