Playa Negra

Piece description from the artist

PLAYA NEGRA Is a black sand beach I visited on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques. The black texture is magma a volcanic sand, which I collected and used in the painting. The large form is a Conch and the blue shape is a Whiptail Blue Lizard. The small glass pieces from the ocean surround the bottom of the Conch I collected along the beach.
