Laurie Raskin’s Greetings From Palm Springs (2025) is a jubilant visual postcard that captures the essence of mid-century desert escapism. Created in mixed media with acrylic on canvas, this 33” x 43” composition brims with retro allure—melding illustrated resort scenes, classic cars, playful signage, and 1950s bathing beauties into a kaleidoscope of nostalgia. Set against a backdrop of soft coral, sage green, and yellow, Raskin punctuates the canvas with graphic polka dots, stylized cacti, and vintage ephemera that echo the golden era of Palm Springs tourism. The artwork evokes the carefree glamour of postwar vacation culture, artfully blending pop sensibility with historical charm. A celebration of leisure, optimism, and Americana, this piece is as stylish as it is transportive.
