Luna Anaïs Gallery presents an artist talk with Daniela García Hamilton, for her debut solo exhibition “Sundays in Lake LA”. In the exhibition, Daniela García Hamilton revisits anecdotes and images that defined much of her upbringing as a first generation Mexican-American and a child of immigrant parents. The exhibition includes a body of new paintings and drawings derived from family celebrations and long afternoons in the artist’s childhood hometown of Lake Los Angeles. From birthday parties to baptisms, all milestones were celebrated to their fullest. García Hamilton recalls growing up in that same house with her parents, siblings, cousins, and extended family, “it was like a home for all of us when we were there”. It was a haven and a safe landing for family members coming from Mexico and deciding their next moves, making the sense of family and community deeply felt.
