“As an immigrant and a member of the LGBTQ community, I have faced years of self doubt, discrimination, and in a way, a lack of opportunities. It has been only in the past few years that my career has turned into a great place. As an artist, having the platform to showcase my artwork in the Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour is a wonderful experience. It gives me the chance to share my art with the larger community and showcase the way I see the world.” – Miguel Hernández Autorino
