Rooted in memories of Port Arthur, Texas, Evita Tezeno's new collage paintings honor the Creole communities that shaped the Golden Triangle of Southeast Texas. Coming Home: A Gathering of Voices expands her signature autobiographical practice into multi-figure compositions alive with Zydeco energy, domino slapping, and home-cooked meals—scenes of quilting, family dinners, and public gatherings where collective memory is threaded into joy.
