Artist Profile: Sandra Vista

statement:
I am a pattern and decoration painter and mixed media artist. My current work is influenced by almost 20 years of living in downtown Los Angeles. I am impressed by the bold colors-especially the deep red hues in Chinatown and the fluorescent colors of the Los Angelinos that paint and create with deep passion and bravery. I am also influenced by the contemporary architecture and the postmodern ruins that I translate with beads, pins, fabric and everyday objects.

Artist Statement

The subtle use of surface, color, texture, pattern and rhythm can evoke deep emotions. A painter will use a canvas's surface to construct a narrative, I manipulate the surface itself. My manipulations are an interplay between my emotions, precision planning and the unpredictability of the medium. 

Mary Little will be showing her canvas creations at Open Studios in LOFT 310
