"Vista" opened at the Bakersfield Museum of Art, Bakersfield, CA

January 2022

What an exciting opening event for my solo exhibit "Vista" at the Bakersfield Museum of Art, Bakersfield, California. It was a pleasure introducing my exhibition and the process that led to it to a large audience of donors and supporters of the museum on the opening night.

"Vista" is a site-specific painting installation that was created during several trips to the fascinating city of Bakersfield in Kern County, CA, almost mid-way between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The city is undergoing massive economic, environmental, and demographic transitions; my exhibition “Vista” dives deep into the complex landscape, with the local oil industry-based economy on the one hand and the ecological preservation and restoration efforts on the other.

Curator: Rachel McCullah Wainwright

"Vista" will be on view until 6 September, 2023
