Bem’s- Bemilda Linda Baltodano
For over two decades, I’ve immersed myself in the world of art, drawing inspiration from the ocean, a constant presence in my life since my childhood days spent near the shores of Masachapa, Nicaragua. The Summer Hotel, my grandparents beautiful hotel, instilled in me a profound love for the sea and its boundless beauty.
Art has been my sanctuary for creativity and positivity, a refuge from life’s trials and tribulations. Despite facing personal struggles, including health issues, I’ve found solace in the artistic community’s unwavering support and encouragement.
When the opportunity arose to lead as President, I made a solemn promise to our late founder, who sadly passed away during the pandemic, to preserve the legacy of the East County Art Association and propel it into the future.
Thank you for your continued dedication and belief in The East County Art Association
