This week’s #NAUArtistOfTheWeek is Adrianna Vasquez Melero! Adrianna is a senior Studio Art major, emphasizing printmaking at the NAU School of Art. Adrianna reports that they work primarily in watercolor, and that their artwork is “a reflection of what we may feel at any point in our lives.” Adrianna also explains that “It can be unsettling to see [the reflection] since I do not censor my own thoughts, but I believe that it’s necessary to see the ugly of mental illness and the struggle in order to understand it better.”
Thank you, Adrianna, for sharing your work with the NAU Art Family!
