La Mecha Contemporary presents Under the Same Sky featuring works by Las Cruces artist Eva Gabriella Flynn.

Flynn is a Mexican-American interdisciplinary artist whose work intertwines personal and historical narratives of the US/Mexico border. Her imagery is inspired by both the psychological and physical landscapes that shape the region she calls home. Under the Same Sky features flags, maps, and paintings that weave historical and personal narratives to create an intimate re-imagined world of the Borderlands.

Eva Gabriella Flynn attended New Mexico State University and received a BFA in Studio Arts and a BA in Foreign Languages. She earned her MFA in Studio Arts with a concentration in painting from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2021. Most recently, Eva Gabriella was a recipient of the Chihuahuan Desert Cultural Fellowship, named a 2022 Emerging Artist of New Mexico grant and award recipient through the Harwood Art Center, a Meghan Furgueson Mraz award recipient through the Harwood Art Center, and participated as the Spring Artist in Residence at the Organ Mountain Desert Peaks National Monument. She has exhibited nationally and internationally at the Zhou B Art Center, Chicago, IL; SITE Santa Fe, Santa Fe, NM; Museo del Ferrocaril, Santa Barbara, Chihuahua, Mexico; and Instituto de Lorenzo Medici, Florence, Italy.
