Artists

Salina Vaughn is a Hawaii-based painter whose life and surroundings are inseparable from her work as an artist. She works in her home studio in Honolulu as well as Abiquiu, having long-standing ties to New Mexico both personally and now professionally with her recent opening of Zatara Contemporary on Canyon Road.

Growing up on the island of Oahu has instilled within me a deep curiosity towards the intricately organized chaos of natural ecosystems. I've observed that modern cultures predominantly view nature as an unlimited resource and as the "other," "wild," entity separate from our mundane, suburban realities.
