R.F. Alvarez

Central Texas is a place of cold springs on hot summer days. Communities once flocked to watering holes that now stand empty. Artist RF. Alvarez reflects on how this landscape has shaped his experience during the pandemic, how his paintings have become embodiments of things we can no longer experience, and how the waters have helped him move forward.
