A native of El Salvador, Clarissa Argueta blends the bold colours of Mexico and Central and South America with vibrant folklore scenes.

Next Thursday, the acrylic painter and graphic designer — who now calls New Westminster home — exposes a few of her ancestral heritage pieces in a group show with Mat Holmstrom and Venus Soberanes in Port Coquitlam.

Titled The Endless Braid, her exhibit can be seen in The Outlet with Soberanes’ The Books of Life and Other Curiosities.

The opening reception for the three displays is on Jan. 24 at 6 p.m. in the Michael Wright Art Gallery in the Gathering Place, also in Leigh Square Community Arts Village (beside PoCo city hall).

The exhibitions run until April 29.
