Julianna Sanromán's paintings have an ethereal, otherworldly feel to it. But their subject matter is rooted in something deeply real and personal: the pain of family deportation. We talked to the Detroit artist about the hard realities of growing up divided between two worlds--and how her paintings are shaped by the longing to remember moments of family togetherness.

GUEST: 

Julianna Sanromán, Detroit artist 

Sanromán’s solo exhibition What Lived And Died Between Us Haunts Me is on view through November 9th at Playground Detroit. You can catch her artist’s talk there Saturday, October 26 at 2pm.
