With the recent re-engagement between the United States and Cuba, there has been an increased interest in the future of the island of Cuba. The exhibition Cuba Libre! provides a selection of works from the Shelley and Donald Rubin Private Collection in which Cuban artists ponder on their diversity and rich historical legacy. Check it out before it closes on June 21st!

Travel on the Edge: Santa Fe, New Mexico

On my trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico I took lots of photos of the places and pieces that brought my trip to life. Santa Fe is full of inspiration, peace and color. Enjoy!
