CASA Hogar
Loreto, Mexico
“Casa Hogar La Esperanza Loreto” in Loreto, Mexico, is a private foster home dedicated to providing care, shelter, education, and emotional support for orphaned, abused, or vulnerable children. During his time in Loreto, Wright was inspired to give back to the community that embraced him. From his "Honoring Loreto" art series, he donated a portion of sales directly to Casa Hogar, funding essential materials and food for the children. Wright actively participated by driving with a representative to purchase groceries and delivering them to the home, reinforcing his commitment to community support.
During his stay in Loreto, Wright captured the charm of the fishing town through plein air painting, highlighting its historical landmarks, including the first and second churches built on the Baja peninsula. His work resonated with the locals, who cheered him on in the streets. After completing his "Honoring Loreto" series, Wright held an exhibition at Loreto's City Hall, attracting a large audience of locals and tourists. A portion of the proceeds from the exhibition was donated to Casa Hogar to support essential renovations.
