F1VEart Studio and Gallery would like to introduce Karla Preciado ...and her amazing abstract landscapes. Come join us Saturday, October 12 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. for a night of art and conversation. "Nature is my greatest muse, an endless source of inspiration that deeply influences my abstract landscapes. The connection between my art and the natural world is not just visual, but emotional and spiritual as well." "When I immerse myself in nature, whether it’s a dense forest, a serene coastline, flowers, or a vast desert, I’m struck by the profound sense of tranquility and joy that these environments evoke. It’s this emotional experience that I strive to capture in my work."
