Our first blog post of 2022 is up! This month we are excited to feature @brighton.aerial and his gorgeous sand sculptures. 💛 Brighton’s “Sandflower” sculpted at Panther Beach in January is captured from 150 feet above with his drone. Often collaborating with his dad, Brighton has created several large scale sand mandalas over the years that has led him and his dad to international sands, currently commissioned in Saudi Arabia sculpting their largest piece to date in the desert. ☀️ Read the full story on our website, firstfridaysantacruz.com - Link in bio! ⬆️ Photos by @brighton.aerial #brightonaerial #sandsculpture #mandala #sandflower #firstfriday #firstfridaysantacruz #art #santacruzart #santacruzartist #santacruz #santacruzcalifornia #california #friday #supportlocalartists #supportthearts #fridayevent #fridaynight #artwalk #arttour #firstfridayarttour #artevents #santacruzartevent
