When he was a child, artist Bony Ramirez moved from his native Dominican Republic to New Jersey. The first museum he ever visited in his new home was The Newark Museum of Art. After working for years in construction while also painting in his mother's kitchen, Ramirez is now a full-time self-taught artist. Over the last year, Ramirez immersed himself within the museum's collections, and the result is a new installation, Cattleya, featuring work he made inspired by what he found. Bony Ramirez speaks about his experience alongside Elena Munoz-Rodriguez, Newark Museum assistant curator of Latinx and Latin American Art.
