The Roots Mural Project
June 25, 2012
I’m working on a pretty big project with the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. We’re creating a mural in honor of The Legendary Roots Crew – one of my favorite bands. It’s a pretty dope project to be involved in. I’m working with Amber Design Collective – a Philly based group of accomplished muralists and artists.
I’ll be posting more about the mural as it goes on. We’re still in the beginning stages as of now. Here are a few pics of from the project so far:

Iran to America to Being
April 4, 2011
Tatyana Fazlalizadeh, Iran To America To Being, Oil and paper on canvas, 22×28 inches, 2011
Self portrait. The background is a paper composition of an English to Farsi translation dictionary, a photograph of my Iranian family members in Iran, and a letter mailed from Iran to my father in America.
The paper was pasted onto canvas, and I painted in oil on top if it. This is something I did once before in a similar piece, Standing From What Was. I like the aesthetic. I’ll continue to explore this process.

Elizabeth Colomba
October 31, 2010
I was introduced to Elizabeth Colomba‘s work a couple of weeks ago at an art reception for There Is No Looking Glass, a group exhibition featuring her as well as my friend Andrea Chung, who is also a fantastic artist.
As with most paintings, digital photos of the work do not do the work any justice. Her work in person is very, very impressive.
I’m a big fan of Vermeer and Colomba clearly takes influence from him.
Re:Form School
October 7, 2010
Me as a graduating 5th grader.
RE:FORM SCHOOL is a high profile group art exhibition, event series and public awareness campaign, taking place in New York City. Thousands of artists, parents, community leaders, educators and grass roots organizers are coming together in a vibrant and creative space in order to shine a light on what is working, explore the potential of what might be and celebrate the role imagination, creativity and innovation will play in the process.
Very glad to be participating in this exhibition along side some really amazing artists.
For the website, each artist was interviewed about their participation. Read mine here.
