Essential Workers
Mer Young
In order to pay homage, and to thank them for their service to our community, I have created art that reflects our frontline workers. I am a Long Beach artist who has created a body of artwork manifested in collages, drawings, paintings, and public artwork that communicates the importance of understanding the natural world, and brings forth cultural awareness. My artwork also aims to inspire, celebrate and elevate repressed, indigenous, First Nations, native cultures and women of color.
