Big Bend Ranch Paintings in London: Daisy Perez

Daisy Perez, a 16 year old 10th grader, is another of the Presidio High School students exhibiting work at London's Saatchi Art Gallery. Her work features Fort Leaton State Historic Site, near Presidio, and a gateway stop to Big Bend Ranch State Park.

She talks about her work, "El Fortin at Sunset." "I was in a bad mood that day and I wanted to draw (what I thought) something simple. When I finished with the Fort part of the drawing, I felt a little better, but my mind was still cloudy…so I drew the cloudy sky!" Daisy has been working for about a year on her artwork, and enjoys chalk pastels, oil paints, colored pencils.
