FEATURED ARTIST
ANDREA SABUGO
Cincinnati, Ohio
Andrea is a photographer whose work blends fashion-forward aesthetics with personal storytelling, drawing from her experience as a Mexican woman in America. Through editorial, commercial, and personal work, she creates imagery that celebrates culture, identity, and representation.
Loteria
This exhibition reimagines Lotería, the beloved Mexican game of chance, through contemporary photography and paintings. Rather than traditional illustrated cards, the series transforms familiar symbols, objects, and cultural references into stylized photographic compositions.
The images explore Mexican culture and identity through a combination of personal symbolism, regional references, and recognizable elements of everyday life. Some works also introduce subtle social and political undertones, encouraging viewers to consider the cultural meanings behind the imagery and engage in broader conversations about identity, tradition, and society.
By bringing Lotería into a contemporary photographic context, the exhibition celebrates the vibrancy of Mexican culture while exploring how tradition can be reinterpreted through a modern visual langua

Participating Artist
SHERIDAN DAVENPORT
Cincinnati, Ohio
Sheridan is an art professor, graphic designer and mixed media artist. From branding to experiential design, her work explores uniting the past with the present through materials, imagery, and messaging. As a graphic designer and fine artist, her works sparks conversation about the evolving future of visual communication, the evocation of fine art, and how both worlds converge. Her current series explores feminine individuality through collage.
Reflective Truths
Reflective Truths is a series of collages that explore what I didn’t know I needed to say. Each begins with a woman cut from old books and magazines and is built intuitively with no plan for what it will say. With an approach rooted in graphic design, I experiment with hierarchy, scale, and composition as tools for self-discovery. Only once a piece is finished, I step back and read it, like tea leaves, to discover what I was subconsciously working through. The works are made in threes, each trio linked by a shared style or recurring element, so the series unfolds like diary entries in sequence. I chose women because I am one, and this series is a conversation with them. The women are never specific; together, they span various eras and cultures. The silver background works as a mirror, inviting every viewer (woman or not) to find themselves within the compositions if they’re willing.
