Vaughan grew up in Bakersfield and makes abstract paintings, drawings, and sculptures she thinks of as "pictures of places" — not specific locations, but emotional states, internal landscapes, and moments in time. Every work goes through a stage of feeling lost or unresolved, and she's learned to trust that as part of how the work finds its way into being. alivaughan.com
