From the Artist:

This was a piece that I began in high school 1999. I have always loved babies. I created a body of work just of babies. This was one of my favorites. Now being a mom of a toddler and being pregnant I have an even greater understanding of babies. I understand the fear of wondering if the baby is alright. I am so honored to be able to contribute to this cause!

Diana Contreras (b. Peru, 1981) has established herself as an influential Miami artist.

Contreras's primary medium is oil, and also enjoys experimenting with anything she can get her hands on.
