• Con Cariño Art Exhibition

Despite the move to the United States, Hernandez maintained a deep connection to his Mexican heritage and customs through time-honored familial traditions. This exhibit pays homage to his parents who left their homeland in search of a brighter future for their family. The accompanying pieces in this collection weave together fragments of their journey and the various forms of labor they undertook to provide their children with the opportunities they were denied.

    Music

    Multi-award-winning hit songwriter and artist, Danny Wells was born and raised in Roanoke Rapids, NC. Music was an integral part of his life for as long as he can remember. He grew up singing in church, began taking piano lessons in 2nd grade, was writing his first songs shortly thereafter, and eventually, became a performing member of the Christian music group, New Beginning. Music was in his blood. Upon graduating high school, Wells attended Southwestern College in Oklahoma City where he received his A.A. degree. In 1980, the North Carolina native decided to make the move to Music City where he attended and graduated from Belmont University receiving a B.M. degree in Commercial Music - all while continuing to perform and write. Fast forward fifteen years of honing his craft and working in the business, Wells’ first cut came in 1995. He is recognized for the #1 HITS, “Check Yes or No,” recorded by George Strait, “These Days,” recorded by Rascal Flatts, and “Couldn’t Last a Moment,” by Collin Raye. Some of Wells’ other hits include “This Everyday Love,” and “While You Loved Me,” both recorded by Rascal Flatts, Craig Morgan’s “Little Bit of Life,” and “Hello L-O-V-E,” a hit […]
