About
My recent series of paintings explores how climate change is affecting the Morongo Desert and its inhabitants. By exploring this topic through art, I hope to create a powerful visual representation of how color and mood reflects the morning light, evening sunset or that massive windstorms in the desert. My imagery is informed by the diverse geographical landscape and addresses community amid calamity, showing the beauty as well as the pitfalls of light pollution, increased population density, and temperature changes on the environment and our emotions.
