Julia Gonzalez Hall is a Los Angeles-born artist whose work is inspired by her Guatemalan and Mexican heritage. A multidisciplinary artist, Hall works across oils, acrylics, watercolors, charcoal, sculpture, painting, and photography. Her artwork has been exhibited through public art installations and galleries throughout Las Vegas and has been featured in LA Voyage Magazine.
She says: "Elysian Dimensions provides a rich investigation into spatial ambiguity and emotional resonance through the dance of color and form. It examines the delicate balance between chaos and order that defines much of abstract art. This exhibition aims to draw visitors in, prompting them to connect with the artwork on a personal level, inspiring their own interpretations. The dynamic interaction between art and viewer is essential, fostering individual reflection and sparking conversations about modern identity and visual culture.”

Afro-Indigenous multidisciplinary artist Christina Monique Flores-Escobar, known professionally as Psychedelicchola, debuts her second solo exhibition, Desert Altars: A Iyawó’s Journey of Softness, Surrender & Spirit.
Created over the course of her iyaworaje, the sacred year following initiation in the Lucumí tradition, Desert Altars is, to the best of the artist’s knowledge, the first Nevada-based solo body of work dedicated entirely to an artist’s iyaworaje. Through contemporary painting, the exhibition documents a year of spiritual transformation, healing, ancestral connection, and self-discovery.
The collection also intentionally centers larger-bodied Black and Brown women as sacred subjects. In a visual culture where larger-bodied women, particularly women of color, are rarely depicted as divine or spiritually powerful, Desert Altars reimagines the body as an altar, challenging conventional narratives surrounding beauty, worthiness, and spirituality.
