Highlights<br />
During times of confusion, tribulation, grief, uncertainty, and despair, the arts enliven us by<br />
reintegrating the disjointed pieces of ourselves and replenishing them with clarity and hope.<br />
The arts remind us of our individual and collective potential to grow, evolve, and transform. They<br />
remind us of what and who we can be and what we can create. In this new section, we bring<br />
you works of art that have moved and inspired us. We encourage you to also share works that<br />
have inspired you.<br />
This month we are highlighting one of the Latinx artists from Danbury.<br />

Article of the Month<br />
Jacqueline Cabrera<br />
Jacqueline is a Dominican-American, abstract artist who has always<br />
been fascinated by the beauty of nature and people. She studied<br />
sociology at Baruch College in New York City, but as she pursued her<br />
degree, she realized that there was more to life than just theory. She<br />
had always been artistically inclined, but she felt like she couldn’t<br />
create the same kind of work as others.<br />
In 2018 she moved to Danbury where she was able to reconnect to<br />
nature just as she did when she was a child growing up in a Campo<br />
in the Dominican Republic. Reconnecting to nature allowed her to<br />
connect more to herself and understand herself in a more profound<br />
way. It was while walking through the East branch reservoir in Brewster<br />
that she realized, after years spent away from art, how important it is<br />
to express herself in her preferred styles. Jackie incorporates natural<br />
elements such as rocks, feathers, sand and soil into her paintings.<br />
Nowadays, she creates canvas pieces that are both beautiful and thought-provoking. Jackie<br />
believes in the power of art to make the world a better place. Jackie’s goal is to inspire others<br />
to find beauty in their own unique way of seeing the world—and we can’t wait to see what she<br />
comes up with next!<br />
