VIBRANT EXTINCTION: Kara Maria's paints endangered animals in an unseen way.

Great art can be found all over the South Bay, including on campus at Santa Clara University. This Friday, the University’s de Saisset Museum opens its Kara Maria exhibition, dedicated to the artist’s vibrant and evocative compositions. At first glance, the pieces may appear to showcase pure abstraction or geometry in their stylings, yet Maria’s unexpected swirls and layers diversify her canvas in ways that can shock the eye. Many pieces in the collection feature species of animals who have gone extinct or are endangered, making a gallery visit both an educational and artistic experience.
