Event: “Descendants” Moeckel Studio Solo Exhibition

Introducing Moeckel Studio’s “Descendants”, their most prominent solo exhibition yet. Sponsored by Chrysalis Gallery and featuring special guest artist Godfitti and live music showcase (Friday 7pm) featuring Native American musician, Bambii. There will be never before seen artwork by Sonny and Lisa Moekcel, giveaways, door prizes, auction items, and more. “Descendants” is a reflection on history, culture, and the stories that live inside us. 2 day event: Friday April 3 from 5-8 PM and Saturday April 4 from 10 AM to 2 PM.

For Sonny, this show is deeply personal and tied to his Native American ancestry. His great grandfather was Jicarilla Apache Chief James Garfield Velarde, and while generations pass, the presence of those who came before us never disappears. Their strength, survival, and spirit continue through us. These portraits are not just paintings of individuals, they are reminders that we are all part of something larger than ourselves. Indigenous history is not something that only exists in the past. It lives through descendants, through culture, through memory, and through the act of remembering. This exhibition honors the resilience of Indigenous people, the beauty of ancestry, and the responsibility we carry as descendants to keep these stories alive. We remember, they remain.
