"On the Strip," 45" x 60"

Arizona + Las Vegas.

Acrylic on Canvas.

“This painting is inspired by my road trip across the American Southwest. The landscape was breathtaking. While hiking through the Grand Canyon, from rim to rim, I couldn’t help but imagine a city within its walls. In this piece, I perch architecture from Las Vegas on the edge of the Grand Canyon in Arizona to explore ways we could coexist with nature.”
