Who Am I? Quien Soy Yo? – Tony Ortega

An exhibition of original paintings by Tony Ortega

Millicent Rogers Museum is Closed on Wednesdays

The Millicent Rogers Museum presents Who Am I? / ¿Quién Soy Yo?, featuring twelve pastel paintings by Tony Ortega that trace a young boy’s journey of self-discovery. These original works, created for the children’s book co-written with George Rivera, reflect Ortega’s exploration of identity, language, and belonging.

Rooted in memories of summers spent with his grandmother in Pecos, New Mexico, Ortega’s art celebrates the beauty of cultural inheritance and creative expression. Each image transforms memory into meaning — weaving color, light, and story into a meditation on what it means to find one’s place between worlds and to call a place home.
