The second of this week’s featured artists is Raine Parker. Raine’s work is another piece in the exhibition that leans towards abstraction. It is one that engages the viewer with a recognizable underwater landscape that employs formal masses of color and broad marks to create a surreal cartoonish landscape. Her brushwork suggests rather than quotes, leaving space for the viewer to enjoy work as a whole or to enjoy the discreet interactions of color and form.

As a student athlete in high school, it’s hard to find a balance between academics and life. However, I always find time for art. I like to paint and draw things with many colors and often include characters. – Raine Parker
