For my presentation I have selected Jeaneen Carlino an LA based artist and native. I chose her because, of all the artists on the list, her work called the most to me. Her paintings are so vibrant and all feature strong and mystical looking women. While looking through her portfolio I noticed a pattern throughout in which she featured a lot of "Aztec mythology" style themes for the way her female figures looked. The patterns and colors alone captured my attention, but looking more into the style in which she portrays these female figures brought this fantastical vibe that really called to me. In addition to that, she seems to always tie nature into her work too either through incorporating animals, plants, or a lot of earthy vibrant tones. Her warrior goddess theme gave me a strong sense of empowerment and overall strength which any Chicana should feel.
Jeaneen's work is representative of her life experiences while expressing her gratitude to mother nature.
