Echoes of Extinction at the 2025 BFA Exhibition

I was honored to exhibit my digital painting Echoes of Extinction in the 2025 Bachelor of Fine Arts Exhibition, held at the Joseph Gross Gallery on the University of Arizona campus. The show ran from March 3rd through March 28th, 2025, and brought together graduating BFA students from a variety of disciplines — including 2D Studies, 3D & Extended Media, Illustration, Design & Animation, Photography, Video & Imaging, and Art & Visual Culture Education.

This annual exhibition is a celebration of creative growth and the culmination of our time in the School of Art. It was both surreal and deeply gratifying to see my work displayed alongside so many innovative and powerful pieces by fellow graduating artists.

My piece, Echoes of Extinction, was an oil painting exploring themes of environmental grief and cosmic isolation through a speculative astronomy lens. It imagines a distant future where the silence of extinction echoes across space — a visual elegy blending planetary decay, distant light, and a haunting sense of loss.

This piece is part elegy, part imagining — a visual meditation on extinction, memory, and the unknown futures we’re hurtling toward.

A public reception for the exhibition took place on Thursday, March 27th, from 4 to 6 p.m., welcoming friends, faculty, and art lovers from the Tucson community. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect, reflect, and celebrate how far we’ve come — and where we’re headed next.
