NOPALITOS
ABOUT THIS PIECE
Both “Agave" and "Nopalitos" were inspired by the aftermath of the freeze that hit the valley in early 2021. It became apparent how fragile our beautiful cacti, palm trees, agave, and citrus groves really are. The inspiration for these works was to bring a little of what was lost back. Brittney chose to commemorate the agave and cacti with the use of color. Her vision was to create something that would serve as a reminder of our unique landscape.
