We are Reflections: Celeste Contreras Skierski Description:
"We Are Reflections: Celeste Contreras Skierski" is a solo exhibition of new works by Celeste Contreras Skierski, produced during her artist residency at Villa Terrace Art Museum.

Celeste Contreras Skierski is a Milwaukee-based Xicana artist who works in mixed media to share stories of ceremony, palimpsests, and memory with reflections of identity. She is a graduate and new professor at UW-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts and manages Studio Tlacuilo + Library, a new artist’s book library presenting works by Tlacuilo creatives at House of Rad in the Riverwest neighborhood.

Celeste Contreras Skierski's art is not just a product of her creativity but a reflection of her spiritual existence and practice. Over twenty-four weeks as Villa Artist-in-Residence, she carved and stamped a rubber stamp each day, contemplating our time in a world torn by war and turmoil. Her practice is a testament to the universal Indigenous philosophy of 'We are Reflections of Each Other,' a belief in our interconnectedness as mirrors of one another.
