Art Space and the University Art Gallery is pleased to present this year’s BFA and BA Graduating Seniors Exhibitions. These exhibitions and accompanying catalog showcase the many gifted artists graduating from the Department of Art at California State University, Stanislaus. Now that we are seemingly past the Covid-19 Pandemic we are experiencing a new and different artworld, filled with new ways of exhibiting and sharing artwork. An artworld with different expectations of artists and a place that is still ripe for exploring the everexpanding meanings of art. It is this artworld that our newest graduates will be experiencing and expanding with new and exciting ideas and artwork.
As Gallery Director and Professor of Art, I have had the pleasure of working with these students in their endeavors to complete the BFA and BA programs. These degrees are a pivotal part of their development as artists. As a result of their accomplishments, I am pleased to call these graduating students “colleagues”. I look forward to seeing them have wonderful and meaning careers in the arts.
I would like to thank the many colleagues that have been instrumental in presenting this exhibition. Our talented BFA and BA students for the chance of exhibiting their incredible work, the faculty and staff of the Art Department for their dedication to the education of our students, Noely Ortiz, the Administrative Support Coordinator for her tireless work in organizing and arranging the show details. I would also like to thank, Brad Peatross of the School of the Arts and California State University, Stanislaus for the catalog design and Stan State Print Shop for the printing this catalog, the Instructionally Related Activates Program of California State University, Stanislaus, as well as anonymous donors for the funding of the exhibition and catalogue. The support is greatly appreciated.

Resin is a clear, synthetic liquid that hardens into a polymer, trapping bubbles, seams, and tool marks as a visible record of its making. When it solidifies, it preserves a record of both the outer surface and what is embedded within. I use that transparency to stack and distort musical notes, treating them as physical building blocks instead of flat symbols on a score. Color, texture, and process come together to make forms that feel humorous, playful, and a little strange, like a midpoint of a song. I borrow techniques from metalwork and glass traditions but translate them into resin, casting small, layered objects in which light, weight, surface, and structure remain in conversation. My planning starts with an emotional state attached to a song, which I translate into a sculptural phrase. Each piece reflects different moments in the music, turning shifting moods into solid, stacked notes.

Contemporary society often undermines the importance of mental health, taking care of oneself, and autonomy over our bodies. I am a multidisciplinary artist who is interested in painting, sculpture, and illustration. My work is purposefully theatrical with the purpose of expressing difficult topics that relate to myself. In contrast with these serious subjects, I use cartoonish subject matter and elements to create intellectual contrast in my work (texture, scale, color, form, and value). Developing characters and designs is a repetitive process that I regularly engage in, making them reflect my personal growth. Overall, exploring character dynamics and their experiences is a way for me to envision my personal life in a way that is familiar.

We, as people, have a tendency to take for granted the people in our lives and the time we have with them. I was once a part of this cycle until my world flipped upside down. When I was fourteen years old, my father passed away, and I have since lost others in my life. Dealing with grief is a central theme across my work and what I often find myself drawn to.
I think it’s the overall process of creating something new and expressing my feelings using visual narratives that allows me to process my grief. I have been reflecting on my grief over the people whom I have lost in my life, the things that have taken up my time, and my childhood memories. My goal is to invite the viewer into my world and to form a connection over the experiences I’m voicing in my work.

Cars create a space for identity, labor, and survival, offering both refuge and a tool for navigating daily life. Within them, we become vulnerable and develop agency while adapting to a fast-paced, efficiency-driven world.
My work depicts intimate scenes inside vehicles, exploring how cars shape our sense of privacy, time, and routine. By presenting their use beyond transportation, I critique societal systems that pressure people into difficult conditions, revealing how these environments influence identity.
Through acrylic paintings of shallow car interiors, I emphasize their compact, personal nature. I extend forms beyond the canvas to evoke their tactile qualities and immersive space. Painted from a passenger’s perspective, viewers are placed within the scene.
Ultimately, I present vehicles as emotional environments, highlighting how modern life romanticizes labor and efficiency while often neglecting well-being and everyday moments

In the past year, Mayra has been heavily influenced by the effects of AI especially in art, but also in meditation. Her meditation began with the idea of “I am what I do” in regards to AI and how it is rapidly progressing and negatively impacting the arts and nature. She focuses on differences between natural blue and technological blue, studying where they meet and where they split. Her work is influenced by posthumanism—referring to essays like the “Cyborg Manifesto” by Donna Harraway. With multiple mediums, she plays with the tactile and the intangible. And technology as a tool—and how it becomes an extension of ourselves when we create. As a creative being, which we all are, she wants us all to observe technological progress critically and how it may eventually change our definition of being human

My art has taken a lot of forms over the years; from colored pencil, to digital art, and now to ceramic sculpture. I have found that while each medium has an aspect I enjoy, there is a level of satisfaction in ceramic sculpture that has exceeded my expectations. The amount of control and detail that one can achieve with sculpting and glaze is what I love about this medium.
I am inspired by pop art, choosing to create pieces that are very representational and recognizable. I look to create work that brings me and the viewers a sense of joy.

My work explores identity, memory, and transformation, shaped by my experience as a first-generation college student from a Mexican immigrant family. I am interested in how cultural roots, migration, and personal history influence the way we see ourselves and move through the world.
My practice reflects the balance between holding onto where I come from while adapting to new environments and expectations.
I think about identity as something layered and constantly changing, formed through language, family, and lived experience. Themes of resilience, growth, and belonging are central to my work, as I navigate spaces that often feel in-between.
Through my practice, I aim to create a space for reflection and connection-one that honors my background while also speaking to broader experiences of displacement, transformation, and self-discovery

As an artist, I have always enjoyed taking on different mediums that I deemed a challenge or didn’t have much experience with. As I start to get more comfortable with a wider range of mediums, I strive to create pieces that challenge my skill set and allow for growth as an artist. A lot of my work stems from my personal interests or compositions I find testing. The works I have chosen to share are a combination of ideas that challenged me to think differently throughout the building process but left me with a sense of satisfaction upon completion. For anyone who may come across my work, I hope you are instilled with a sense of joy, whether it be in the tiniest detail or from afar.

My name is Maile Arnold and I am a digital artist and animator who received her AA in Art and BA in Studio Art. I draw inspiration from various folklore, mythology, and fantasy television and media. A frequent recurring subject in my animation and artwork is a digital avatar that represents myself. She incorporates several aspects of me yet also holds qualities that would not exist in the real world, such as wings and horns. My avatar allows me to feel connected to the fantasy world I have created. My works focus on escapism through portraying characters that are extensions of myself in a world I would desire to live in. I utilize vibrant, saturated colors to help my works feel otherworldly and fantastical. My art is an exploration of myself, my subconscious, and my most authentic expression.

Entropy is one of the fundamental conditions of existence. Sound serves as the primary medium through which my work examines time in its most immediate and unstable form. Across both sonic and visual practices, the work is shaped through texture and fragmentation. Beauty is found only within the realm of temporality, subject to the same contortion and decay imposed by time. These works ask the audience to contend with duration, whether static or dynamic, and to reflect on the condition of being.
From this framework, my practice treats time as material and decay as evidence of existence itself. Each work remains subject to collapse, conceptually as well as materially. Through sound and image, I seek to create works that invite reflection on mortality and the fleeting nature of time.

Every woman at one point in their life has had thoughts on their appearance. Some days you are unhappy with the face you have and other days you feel beautiful. There are many causes for the different ways we see ourselves such as societal expectations, the media, and even our own expectations on what we wished we looked liked. My work uses color and form to represent vanity, beauty and the inner turmoil of wanting to be beautiful.
I mainly work with paints to create still lives representing a woman’s vanity. My work is mostly representational as they are still life works. Common items shown are makeup, perfume bottles, flowers, and jewelry. Despite these common items, each vanity has a different look and feel to them. The feeling being depicted is up to the viewer as each painting and its symbolism can evoke different things.

Memories of better days will always linger in the back of your mind as years fly by. Sometimes those days are about reminiscing on fashion dolls, making a simple decision about which cartoon you want to watch, or deciding on what favorite topic to draw for the day. People may deem you immature or childish for recollecting on such events and wishing to go back. By working with childhood items, I am able to express the whimsy and fun sides to life with the help of color and recognizable forms.
Watching animated cartoons and webseries really established my love for animation and is the main reason I got into doing art. My process is always trial and error when trying new mediums. Oftentimes feeling discouraged and giving up when things go awry. Even so, pushing forth will always be the best case scenario when it comes to growth and improvement.

Artists capture the spirit of time by recording specifics of a certain era. It may not be a literal depiction more, so it is a feeling of a moment. This in turn creates a piece of work that is familiar to the eye but stays true to the artist. To provide that feeling of the moment, my work combines abstract and representational imagery to represent the uncertainty about the future. These practices explore the tension of confidence and anxiety that reflect themes of success, doubt, and self-determination. Much of my work created over multiple semesters reflects such uncertainty through the depiction of the familiar and unfamiliar. It is my own way of visualizing these repressed thoughts in my mind. Through the creation of works representing discomfort, I have learned it is all a part of the process. A visual journal that helps me come to terms with these temporary insecurities.

My work explores personal aspects of my life, such as my childhood, in the form of drawing, prints, and sculpture. My intention with my work is to evoke nostalgia, especially my own, by including factors of my adolescence. One factor is the act of using pink, as it was my favorite color growing up, and I continue to be attracted to utilizing it in my work. Furthermore, in my work, subject matter, such as objects from my childhood that I continue to have to this day, tend to emerge as a result of consciously wanting to depict physical forms from that time of my life. My work also expresses my connection to the past and how I feel bound to it.

I am a visual artist converting tangible material to art through personal exploration. I invite viewers to think about how they see the world, encouraging reflection on the ideas often hidden beneath everyday imagery. I like to capture permanence and beauty in usual temporal or disposable items within life in a subliminal way. My art helps temper the constant heaviness of the world at heart but also the peace. Something felt intuitively, connecting us all as humans.
My primary medium is ceramics, but my practice also extends into drawing, painting, and photography. I have always gravitated towards ceramics as a medium for how I can connect with the clay in my hands as a direct relation to the earth. I let my mind create and lead most in the process within my work and studio practice. Influencesinclude popart and my personal, biographical background of origin and ironic symbolism.

My artwork is an exploration of what I can do creatively, examining the human form, nature, and everyday moments through various media. I have an obsession with perfection and try to capture what I see as realistically as possible, down to the subtlest details. My work reflects my appreciation for the simple beauty of nature, emphasized through texture and contrast. By focusing on expression and form, I aim to show inner thoughts and emotions, as well as the complexity of identity. I hope my art helps people see the beauty found in the mundane and the extraordinary aspects of human life.

The human mind is so powerful that it dictates all meaning and understanding of the world and oneself. No individual’s mind or perspective will ever be the same- our entire existence and who we are is shaped by what we experience, and what we experience and our innate human nature are how we perceive the world around us. I have always been fascinated with how the human mind expresses emotion through the body and the different ways people move through and experience the world. As a result, most of my work is figurative or portraiture and explores the human condition. I work in several mediums, but I gravitate toward digital painting and traditional mediums such as graphite, ink, and printmaking. The ultimate goal of my art is to connect with audiences and resonate with them while bridging the gap of misunderstanding between people who have different lived experiences.

Hello, my name is Nate Nelson. My work is comprised of multiple mediums from prints to sculptures with my favorite being painting and any sculptural mediums since both allows me to be more hands on and adjust the work throughout the process as well as allow for more freedom to manipulate the medium itself. My works don’t usually follow a theme, but I love to explore and depict plants and figures in different poses and proportions. Why I chose art is because it is a piece of freedom you can have create anything you want from composition, colors, forms and shapes, even how the viewer sees the piece it allows the artist to represent themselves either literally or figuratively through emotions or what they are thinking which brings a beauty to each piece

I used to draw lots of comics growing up. Sometimes they were made up stories of me and my friends, and sometimes they were recreations of silly moments I’d experienced with my cousins. I’d grow out of them eventually, but I don’t think anything else I’ve created sparked the same joy in me as drawing those comics did.
A lot of my art now is influenced by my interests, primarily video games and paleontology. But looking through a lot of my work, the pieces that I still adore the most usually end up telling some kind of story.
I’d like to think that I’m a storyteller at heart. I tell stories to those who are interested and I use illustration as a way to do so. I create art to make the little girl in me happy, just like those silly comics used to do.

In order to appreciate the smaller things in life, one has to take the time to slow down and observe the world around them. The way light reflects on objects and the way a rainbow can be found in a skin tone- these are all small gifts only visible to those with the heart to slow down and look. Anything can have the depth of the sea if only observed for long enough. This is the key to my works: color used in a way that reveals itself to the viewer if they take the time to explore.
Most of my works are paintings, both Digital and Oil on Canvas. I love expressing nature in an abstract manner, as well as creating narrative pieces of work. In order to create my narratives, I focus on the emotional energy of colors and focus on the harmony of said colors together.

My artworks are a celebration of beauty and the cheerful aspects of everyday life. I enjoy creating work rooted in my own experiences and personal life based on media, memories, and whatever I may find fun or interesting. To me, art has always been about exploring the beauty that can be possible through the use of different mediums, such as painting and sculpture specifically.
It is often joked that I “just like pretty things”, which I hope is emphasized in my work. Exploring my work under the expectations that art must contain ideas and specific narratives has been challenging. Instead of conforming to this idea, I have chosen to appreciate my own path and create what I find enjoyable. Sticking to certain themes can feel limiting for myself, and I enjoy branching off in different directions to achieve whatever image or goal I have in my mind at that moment.

What is the strongest form of motivation for a person? Is it the desire to love, maybe find life’s answers? I believe it’s one’s journey of self-discovery of their identity. My body of work consists of the idea of finding one’s own identity, while at the same time, experiencing hardships that break, and shape that identity. I share my own journey, discovering my own identity within my culture, and traditions through music and politics and the experiences of many Mexican people through the beauty of our culture. I want to contrast that with works on the harsh reality that we also experience through the discrimination and hurt we face. I will use different mediums to express my ideas such as drawing, painting, and intaglio. I prefer these mediums as they are my way of expressing my ideas through every mark making and expressing the emotions through color.

I create works that reflect ideas of isolation, othering, and politics. Through narrative imagery, I present figures shaped by recurring motifs that separate them from their surroundings, disrupting their sense of belonging. I use dramatic lighting and exaggerated features to emphasize otherness, often altering my figure’s appearance or surrounding color to make my subjects feel unfamiliar or out of place. This heightened drama aims to create a sense of discomfort and sadness, supporting my focus on othering. By centering the figure, I attempt to bring a personal and emotional quality to the work, encouraging viewers to connect with these works on an individual level

My artwork explores memories and everyday interactions being slowly manipulated by our brain. These memories and everyday interactions are loosely based on my experience, but I felt that including general depictions of memories to be crucial for my development of this collection of work. My work consists of pieces done in the form of prints, drawings, and paintings
My work will feature anamorphic figures and environments to represent the minds struggle to accurately record memories and everyday interactions. I found optical color mixing to be a great source of my color application for my work because of its ability to create a speckled effect. Adding texture over my work will create an effect of our minds re piecing our memory and everyday interaction based on limited information.
Creating work that captures the unreachable parts of the brain, invites the viewer to engage with art to capture corrupted memories and interactions in the form of art.

Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted that is actionpacked, hilarious, and most importantly, fun. When creating this exhibition, Cartoon Chaos, I added artworks that reflect my love of storytelling. The Battle for Tomorrow (2026) showcases some of the heroes standing in defiance against a mad roboticist who wants to achieve his ultimate goal.
One of the characters also appears as a sculpture, Batty (2024). Then there is Queen Cordyceps (2024), which is a monstrous ant queen that has been zombified by a parasitic fungus. No Bones About It (2026) has a skeleton smoking in the backyard with his skeleton dog. Finally, there is the animatic, Ben the Water Polo Player (2025), which features a water polo player rescuing his girlfriend for impending doom.
Overall, I want my work to show how art can be used to create a fun and imaginative story with interesting characters.

I have always been curious about the world, such as nature, the sea, and space. My perspective is trying to capture mother nature and to seek answers to my questions of whom, what, when, and how they are made when sketching. Observing nature, the sea and space from a distance is interesting; it is like looking back at photographs of a memory, which has always been a part of my life. The photographs that have taken of a moment have allowed me to reconnect with myself in the moment the image was captured. Furthermore, it gives free rein to my creativity, allowing my hand to take control and to sketch whenever nothing holds me back. While the majority of my work is based on nature, my intention is to convey the memories people hold of their surroundings, and how those surroundings appeared at the moment those memories surfaced.

My name is Sasha Zamudio Lopez, and I specialize in multimedia art that ranges from personal narratives to broader themes. My art tries to conveying a certain feeling in a viewer, whether subtle or direct, inviting viewers to engage with each piece on different levels as well as on a personal one. It is thanks to my parents that I have continued to pursue the arts and push forward despite hardships, and their support has played a significant role in shaping my dedication to this path. I have taken full advantage of the opportunities that they were never allowed
Through an experimental process, I challenge myself to work across various forms of media without a fixed outcome in mind. This approach allows my work to feel natural, shaped by both intention and spontaneity. By embracing uncertainty and creative freedom, I aim to push boundaries and expand my artistic voice, creating work that reflects both personal experience and a connection to the world around me
