Low Rider

Artist statement: Mel CK is from Panama City, Panama, and since coming to the US she has lived in Colorado Springs and Denver. Her work is street surrealism influenced by South American street art. Her piece for Art on the Streets is a reflection of her culture and Chicano culture; a jungle animal with human hands riding a classic car. The toucan is a cultural reference. Most of her time is spent creating new pieces and learning new ideas from other artists.
