What does it mean to create art that carries culture, memory & celebration all at once?
In this first fully bilingual episode of Heart to Heart, I sit down with acclaimed artist Maria Fernanda Vogel, recently named Artist of the Year for the @kiwaniscluboflittlehavana Carnaval Miami 2026. Known for her vibrant, expressive work that blends Latin heritage with contemporary design, Maria Fernanda shares the story behind her artistic journey & the inspiration that fuels her creations.
We talk about the role of art in community as well as the cultural heartbeat of Carnaval Miami & how creativity becomes a bridge between tradition & modern expression.
From the meaning behind her work to the responsibility of representing such an iconic celebration, Maria Fernanda reflects on how art can honor where we come from while inviting others into the story.
This conversation is about more than art.
It’s about identity, heritage & beauty of creating with heart.
