Project Description

The artist saw La Cañada/ Flintridge as an emerald city floating above Los Angeles with beautifully tree-lined streets with unique sunlight afforded to mountainsides.

Artist Statement

“I chose to depict a time of day that will stay in line with my style of work as well as depict the range of foliage and color of the city, with colorful lens flares and a pastel colored sunset peeking through the silhouettes of the landscape.”
