Beautiful and Brutal, an exhibition of works by Crissia Vaughn on view through May 15th.
“Each painting within this body of large scale photorealist self-portraits tells an individual story and unique experience of my journey as a female hunter within a modern culture that is mostly disconnected from our natural resources. My work explores narratives that question the human relationship with our living resources while highlighting a variety of exquisite species of Hawaii’s locally harvested reef fish that serves to nourish my community.” – Crissia Vaughn
