This week I spoke to Norax Ayala who’s work was displayed in the Merlino Gallery. She is currently finishing up her last year in the masters program for print making. She decided that she wanted to major in art right after high school. She had always had an interest in art, which her mother had some influence in. She is from Southern California and came to Long Beach for grad school. She has just recently moved to Anaheim as well. Norax likes her art to be abstract and figurative. To make her art pieces, she used screen printing. She feels that it is quick and efficient. The screen printing is pixilated. This symbolized long distance relationships relying on phone communication. She worked on the pieces for two weeks for about 18 hours a day.
