Trend Magazine featured Hebé García in “A Woman’s Place,” an August 2020 article by Rena Distasio with portraits by Peter Ogilvie. The article presents García as one of three women artists whose work and lives reflect the enduring creative pull of Abiquiú, New Mexico.
The feature discusses García’s relocation from Puerto Rico to Abiquiú, her studio practice, and her work in figurative painting and ceramic sculpture. It also places her within a broader lineage of women artists drawn to the high-desert landscape, including Georgia O’Keeffe, who made Abiquiú her home and studio base for much of her career.
