Create Whimsical Collages

Jump into a world of fantasy this summer with Hollywood-based visual artist
Carmen Smith. Visitors will explore their imaginations and create whimsical landscape collages.

Inspired by tropical urban architecture and her own memories, Carmen Smith incorporates the elements of geometric shapes, lines, color, and space to create a dreamlike imagery. The glowing pools and colorful buildings displayed in her works offer viewers a nuanced and magical perspective of experience, memory, and identity.
