Luz del Carmen Vilchis Esquivel, one of the few artists who specialize in creating digital art in Mexico, will display her work at the University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries starting on Friday, April 11, and continuing through June.

An artist's talk and reception will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the fifth floor British Studies Room of Norlin Library on April 11. The event is free and open to the public.

The exhibition, titled "Destinies: A Portfolio of Digital Art Pieces," will be on display in the Norlin Library third floor northwest gallery.

Esquivel was born in Mexico City in 1957 and also is an art historian. She has written several books on the topic of visual arts in Mexico and is the first woman to occupy the position of director of the National School of Fine Arts at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, a position that previously was held by Diego Rivera.

The exhibition is curated by Professor George Rivera of the CU-Boulder fine arts department.

Norlin Library is open to the public Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to midnight, Friday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from noon to midnight.
