Majority of Proceeds from the Event will be donated to the Santa Ana College Arts Department.
The Santa Ana college Art Gallery will be hosting a special one-night only exhibit called “Visage: A Curious Journey into the Essence of Face and Form” by Michelle Ramos at the Santora Arts Building on February 7, 2026 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
Michelle Ramos is an employee at the Rancho Santiago Canyon Community College District, working as a Reprographics Technician in the publications office. Ramos been passionate about art for as long as she can remember.
“I’ve been doing art since I was little,” said Ramos. “I have been an artist my entire life with a Fine Arts degree in Printmaking. I have been in a few art shows over the years, but this will be my first solo show.”
The “Visage” collection conveys the subject of people’s faces, from their forms, shapes, and expressions through mixed media, featuring paintings, drawings, digital prints, and sculptures.
A majority of the proceeds from the artwork sold will be donated to the Santa Ana College Fine and Performing Arts (FPA) Division. The FPA Division boasts one of the largest Art Departments among the Orange County community colleges and hosts community-center art galleries every fall and spring, as well as an annual ceramics sale. However, Michelle Ramos has another purpose on why she is holding this solo exhibit.
“The basis of my show is the face and form itself. I’m obsessed with exploring portraits and the shape of people’s faces,” said Ramos. “I also want to show my kids that if you’re really interested in pursuing something, to just go for it.”
