Art By Latina Artists (ABLA) celebrates Latina artists in various art forms including traditional fine artists, written word, musical, artesanias and independent designers.

We are mothers, sisters, primas, daughters, grandmothers, comadres and amigas.   We are artists, poets, musicians, artesanas, and designers. Each with our own style and unique personalities. We are from different walks of life, yet we share our latino heritage in our voices and creative expression. We are emerging, established, fine and folk artists, classically trained and self-taught.   We are mujeres creativas inspired by our memory canvases, our histories, familias, faith, music and cultura.

ABLA  was born as an initiative of Maria Sanchez, who envisioned a website that would open opportunities for Latinas to showcase their art and connect to others that share the same love for Latina expression.

You will find different styles, techniques and sources of inspiration in the art featured in this website. Because the artists you will find in ABLA come from different countries, have different accents, eat different food, were raised with different beliefs and they're spread throughout the world.

They are mujeres who share the same passion for their heritage, family, communities and art.

Thank you for visiting and supporting our efforts here at ABLA.

Sincerely,

Maria Sanchez
