About the Artist:
Torres has recently been featured in “Savannah Morning News” and “Savannah Now” magazine as artist of the month April Edition; the following month, she was the 912 Featured Artist. In addition to the Lander exhibit, Torres has another solo show at the Sumter Gallery of Art at the end of August. Her work has been in several solo shows thus far in her blossoming career: one at Savannah State, and in Hampton, South Carolina. Sulfur Studio also chose Torres as its August 2022 resident. Torres had the privilege of working for the talented artist Suzanne Jackson, from whom she gains much inspiration. Currently, her focus is to continue to use her platform in the arts to create a conversation and use site-specific relational art to form a bond with specific audiences she would like to reach.
