About Kathryn Sesma

Special to Independent Newsmedia
Phoenix artist Kathryn Sesma, better known as La Jefa, is launching her inaugural solo art exhibition, "La Vida Es Un Carnival,” which translates to “Life is a Party.”
The show will take place at Luna Culture Lab, a multicultural art gallery, event space and research facility in downtown Phoenix at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 3.
"La Vida Es Un Carnival” will take gallery goers through a kaleidoscope of colors and perspectives that define La Jefa’s artistic world. With an art journey spanning 14 years, and an emergence during the pandemic, La Jefa’s art uses Día de los Muertos and Mexican culture influence as subject matter through the vibrant realm of mixed media paintings adorned with glitter.
“I’ve been dreaming of this solo show and every detail of it for as long as I can remember,” La Jefa shared in a press release. “I’m absolutely thrilled to share my work and really, a part of myself with show goers. I hope that with this show, viewers will be able to see the world through my lens-full of color, glitter, and life.”
La Jefa's art has been featured in galleries across the Valley in Scottsdale and Phoenix and the artistic Barrio Logan neighborhood in San Diego, California.
The work of ‘La Jefa’ uses Día de los Muertos and Mexican culture influence as subject matter.
