In this work, I draw from my experience as a transplant to Las Vegas. This city has shown me hospitality and kindness, especially in the art community. Prior to relocating, I received comments about how Las Vegas is a tough place to live. While the desert climate is harsh, I find life here filled with small kindnesses and welcoming strangers. I translate this experience into figures that support and intertwine with each other. The hanging paintings are vignettes of stories filled with gentleness, compassion, and warmth. While this work draws from my personal experience, I hope the abstracted figures will resonate with similar stories from viewers and visitors.
