Currently, Romero's work (be sure to view her linocuts) can be seen at Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum, Mesa, Arizona, in "Fold, Paper, Scissors", on view through August 10. Romero's Bee Pile, a serigraph, is in the traveling exhibition "Estampas de la raza/Prints for the People: The Romo Collection", at North Carolina Museum of Art through July 27. Prints may be purchased through Romero's online store. (My thanks to Elsa Mora at Art Is a Way for the link to Romero's Website.)
