CLARE ROJAS


Untitled, 2007, gouache and latex on banjo, 21” x 8” x 2 1/2”



Clare Rojas is an artist with a very proven amount of versatility. While I really appreciate her work as a whole, I also like how she's taken small banjos and embellished them with paint. It's as if there's a necessity involved in making these instruments her own. Rojas is also an accomplished musician who performs under the pseudonym, "Peggy Honeywell." You can check out her recorded material here and her latest work on canvas, below.
