After over a year of creating from home studios and working in new online communities, Tierra artists have come forth with an explosion of passion and an invigorated zest for making art. By delving deeper into their own interior landscapes, original writings and words are woven into poetry, characters stitched into dolls, images conjured for divination, and intergalactic friendships forged. Whether on paper, thread, paint, or clay, these artists have accessed new dimensions of their creative practices and brought imaginative ideas into fruition.
Street Views of Los Angeles opens March 19 and runs through May 7, 2022. Join us for an in-person celebration of Joe and his work on Saturday, March 19, 6-9 pm at our Chinatown gallery location.

Leul Asfaw
The Storm Clouds are Leaving
July 16 – September 3, 2022
Tierra del Sol proudly presents Leul Asfaw: The Storm Clouds are Leaving. This is his first solo
exhibition with the Gallery, since joining the Tierra del Sol Art Studio program in 2012. Asfaw
creates lush land and cityscapes that reflect his travels and his interests in the language of spaces and places. He is drawn to color-rich vistas that allow him to express the diverse palettes of natural and built environments.
Asfaw constructs his landscapes with repetitive strikes of colored pencil on paper, often giving his work the feel of a painting. With his attention to color, he thoroughly works the medium, saturating the paper and boldly transforming layers of hues into forms that delineate structure as well as
suggest something more poetic.
Join family members of adults with developmental disabilities in an interactive forum with Julie Snyder, Tierra’s Life Planning Navigator and Eric Doran, Manager of UC Irvine’s Down Syndrome MIND Institute. Julie and Eric will answer questions from the previous Summer Series Workshops as well as provide valuable resources specifically addressing areas of life planning and aging for adults with developmental disabilities.
