“Portraits” is Garduño’s intimate new project capturing the faces and spirits of people whose art and support have inspired her – artist colleagues, fellow students, art supporters, culture promoters, and mentors who have left their mark on her vision. This collection represents a departure from her mystical landscapes, focusing instead on honoring the creative individuals and cultural champions who have enriched her understanding of art and photography.

Each portrait serves as a visual homage to these influential figures, documenting not just their physical presence but the essence of their creative contributions. Through her characteristic sensitivity, Garduño captures the depth and passion of fellow artists whose work has moved and guided her throughout her career.Each portrait serves as a visual homage to these influential figures, documenting not just their physical presence but the essence of their creative contributions.

This ongoing project promises to reveal the diverse creative spirits that have inspired Garduño’s own artistic journey, creating a gallery of the minds and hearts behind the art that has shaped her vision.
