Their painting on the new housing complex illustrates farm workers BY GABRIELA RICO Statesman Journal A man and a woman kneel in Oregon fields. Above them, a group of children raise their hands and release butterflies into the wind. These images, emblazoned on the side of Salem's first year-round farm worker-housing complex, carry much meaning to the artists.

September 6, 2005 to September 29, 2005

Cultural Arts Center presents an exhibition of paintings and prints by area muralist Hector H. Hernandez in the main gallery and paintings by Linda Jerome and Michael Orwick in the B galleries. Opening reception Tuesday, September 6th, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. The exhibition runs from September 6-30, 2005. Hector H. Hernandez will exhibit a selection of large-scale paintings and drawings as well as small-scale prints which convey a feeling of optimism within continuous struggle to improve the world we live in. Hernandez works on murals, portraits and landscapes. "My inspiration comes from people who want to see a painting or a mural that reflects their culture and ideals. When I paint, I choose themes that are related to culture, landscapes and the human figure," he said. In fact, his works represent various themes including, diversity and celebrating one's culture. "My work carries out the message of celebrating our cultural heritage and the diversity that exists in today's society. This is done by delivering a positive message and using one's education like an instrument of transformation," he added.
