"Art has the power to tell stories, inspire belonging, and celebrate representation.... BRIC’s office remodel represented an exciting opportunity to embrace this process within our own workplace. Over the past several months, our Office Art Committee has led a thoughtful, staff-driven process centering the voices of... local artists to commission work that speaks to themes like identity, connection, and learning."

The Tres Árboles (Three Trees) triptych portrays three distinct yet interconnected trees. These forms symbolize personal learning, growth, and development within schools. Their leafy canopies are adorned with unique embroidered details and found objects, evoking individuality and diversity. Collectively, the leaves abstractly represent students, educators, staff, and community members—individuals who together create a living canopy of support, protection, and enrichment.
Tres Árboles (Three Trees) was commissioned by BRIC Architecture, and is on permanent display in their newly renovated office.
