Who is Soledad?
Soledad is my pseudonym, you’ll see several paintings and written work of mine under this name, along with my candles and Art Prints. A couple of decades ago when I was kid, I heard a song titled “Soledad” on the radio – Something about the word inspired me, and I started signing my then written poems and drawings with it. That word soon started becoming my imaginary identity and then over the years kind of took over who I was (we both evolved into each other, Soledad and I)
FUNDRAISING EVENTS
THE ROAD SO FAR...
