Inside East Sac September 2025

This mixed media artwork by Carlaina Brown is featured in the annual PBS KVIE Art Auction. Using vibrant acrylic paints on expanded cell PVC, Brown cleverly deconstructs the painted image by slicing it into pieces and reassembling it like a puzzle. Shown: “Sound Bar, XIII,” mixed media, 21 inches by 31 inches. The PBS KVIE Art Auction will be live on air and online Friday, Oct. 3, 7–10 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 4, noon to 10 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 5, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. View the entire art auction collection at PBS KVIE Sept. 2 to Oct.1 or at kvie.org/artauction.
