I will be closing my Etsy shop in order to start fresh with new editions of prints for future works and other items I hope to sell.
My prints and stickers are limited and selling out! They will be up until each listing sells out or expires.

wildfires / original acrylic painting - WIP

Still in progress! About 75% complete.
Acrylic painting inspired by Caspar David Friedrich's Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog as well as the worsening wildfires.
This was for a painting class where I researched a painting from the 1800s to study its structure for my own ideas. I also combined this assignment with research from an environmental art class where I researched the link between the increasing wildfires and climate change.

Education in Las vegas

Picture
For a social practice project, I created my own stickers that remixed a "future community college" sign that has been up by my neighborhood for more than 15 years. The stickers are now up around Centennial Hills.
Each sticker features a major construction project in Las Vegas among fragments of tourism ads. 
Physical landscape can be an indicator of a city's priorities. 
I hope the education system in Nevada changes for the better.

I put this painting project aside for about a year, I didn't feel ready for the amount that I wanted to take on as as a beginner painter. With the craziness of quarantine, I felt the need to go back to it as nothing else really inspired me for my painting final. This is where it currently is at its first layer. It's about 50% complete.
