Artwork by Gricelda Alva Brito

"Dixon Lake"
Art medium: Watercolor

This art piece took several days and many hours to complete. It was completed as part of a final art project for a watercolor class at Palomar College. I worked on this piece using a photograph of Dixon Lake. It is my biggest framed art piece and part of the personal collection, first time in exhibit! I really wanted to capture the peace captured in nature.

"Black Panther"
Art Medium: Acrcylic

This art piece was inspired with my connection to these beautiful animals, reflection on inner strength and resiliency. I am curious to know what art viewers might feel or thoughts come to mind when they connect to this art piece.

"Coral Reef"
Art Medium: Acrylic

This art piece was inspired by a photograph of a tiny piece of coral reef resting on a rock by Sunset Cliffs beach during low tide. I decided to create two panel ( ) with contrasting colors that would pop out together, perhaps this was in part to help the image stand out even more.
