Tarrah Aroonsakool's maze of beauty, trash and the American Dream

Julia Dixon Evans

Opening Reception: Saturday, March 9, 5–8 p.m., during the Barrio Art Crawl

Tarrah Aroonsakool, a first-generation San Diego native with Thai and Lao heritage, embarked on a journey of self-discovery through art. Aroonsakool’s creative path led them to New Orleans, where they found a supportive community and showcased their work globally after her first show in 2013. Motivated by a desire to foster a creative community in their hometown, Aroonsakool returned to San Diego, where they continue to push boundaries and transform their art, incorporating everyday objects and found materials into the work.
