West Aperol: State Route 266 is an oil on canvas self-portrait that I created in April of 2024. The piece was inspired by the portraiture of African American artist Barkley Hendricks. The piece depicts me, wearing and holding various items that are significant personal objects to me, meant to convey the love that I have for traveling and traditional American culture. This piece was my first ever attempt at a large portrait, as well as my first attempt at a large oil painting.
