Abraham Khan

Abraham Khan (b.1973) has been with Tierra del Sol working in the Careers in the Arts program since 2019. Khan makes paintings, textiles, and sculptures that are colorful, playful, and thoughtfully composed. A source of happiness for Khan, his art practice provides an opportunity for him to work from memories and use his hands to create a physical likeness. Favorite characters from Khan’s youth inspire him, including Bugs Bunny, Alf, Chucky, and Cookie Monster, as does skateboarding and surfing. Khan loves music and plays keyboards and drums. He also enjoys helping his mom, babysitting his nephew, and he hopes to travel to Las Vegas to play the slot machines.
