Polychrome Pride Zebra
Artist Statement
"Each year, I create a piece of art in honor or Pride Month. Polychrome Pride Deer uses my favorite subject matter, animals. As a color-blind painter, I have developed a style just my own that uses vibrant colors to capture animals in abstract art. My family has been long allies to our LGBTQIA community."

The Morgan Hill Farmer's Market
Artist Statement
"I appreciate the farmer's market for staying open through the pandemic and beyond. I love the fresh fruit and vegetables as well as music, flowers, and treats. It's fun and adds a lot to the quality of life here. This is a watercolor. It shows the setting with the granary in the background. It is winter so the trees have no leaves."
Universal Love
Artist Statement
"This is a watercolor and pencil/pen work that I made with the intention of LGTBQ+ pride. I wanted to represent that no matter what your race, color, sexuality, gender or whatever is, love always rises above and wins in the end. If we all treat each other with love and kindness, it will go a long way to helping our world."
Old Truck
Artist Statement
"I was inspired to make a drawing of this old truck on Watsonville Road in Morgan Hill because when I looked at this truck, I immediately thought of all the stories it could tell of the places it went and the people who rode inside. I connected to its weathered beauty and classic lines. I found beauty in its faded paint and classic grill. I wanted to make sure to try and capture the light and shadows cast on this faded yet still beautiful old truck. This drawing was done with colored pencils on hot press watercolor paper. Colored pencils on paper are my medium of choice because I have always loved drawing."
