Visual Art by Casey Trujillo
Abstract geometric art has been another inspiration to Casey's inventiveness. The direct use of math within his paintings is an intentional process to showcase the merging of the objective with the subjective. The combination not only dazzles the eye with precision, but also intends to bridge the gap between logic and creativity. It's Casey's belief that neither can exist without the other.
Drawing inspirations come from the ethereal, pointillism & faces.

One of their very first creative outlets, Casey has been playing the trombone since elementary school in a variety of settings from marching to jazz band. Over so often, Casey merges their love of the trombone with drag, creating a unique experience that the audience eats up!
