CMA’s mobile art van Studio Go will be installing an interactive Butterfly trail, a three-dimensional drawing space that is wheelchair accessible and great for those with limited mobility or looking for a new perspective.

Born in Oakland, California, and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Santana is a multimedia portrait artist whose work explores identity, resilience, and the emotional experiences that shape who we become. Working primarily in charcoal, acrylic, and airbrush, he creates expressive portraiture that blends realism with stylized exaggeration, using bold contrasts and striking features to evoke both strength and vulnerability.
