of people from various ethnic groups, particularly Latin American, can

paintings in this category have been from Miami. The Players are groups
of men playing dominoes and chess from dawn to dusk in a small park on
Calle Ocho in Miami. the Islanders are from Haiti, Jamaica and Cuba. The
most recent paintings depicting the rituals of initiation relative to

art style reminiscent of Folk Art. Ceramic mural examples can be found
under Installations.
