Connections

During my last session at Brooks Institute I was working on this project. I traveled with a good friend up the California coast to Santa Cruz, and inland to Pleasanton where the rolling hills were a vibrant green. While I was there, I couldn't stop thinking about how the landscape inspired the artwork of my roommate Rachel, who grew up in the area.

This piece is a series of images that were traced and then painted. It symbolizes the connection any human can have with their surroundings, and how we are truly part of the land we live on.
