    This is a link to a video interview.


    I will be showing artwork here at 4Art Space for the next 3 months.
    It will be by appointment, 10am to 2pm on Saturdays, beginning July 11th.
    Please contact Robin Rios or myself to make an appointment, the address is below.

    Thought I would start off by showing some of my pen and sharpie collages. I have my oldest and most recent up as well as unframed ones available to see.
    This show will be curated so it will be changed out for something different every few weeks. We have some time, please make it if you can.

    It's Political, 2018. Las Laguna Gallery, Laguan Beach, CA

    A PRECAUTIONARY TALE.
    I had 1 painting in this show, up for a month.
    It was returned to me damaged. I'm lucky enough to have some colleagues in the field of art conservation and each one said the same thing. Something heavy got dropped on my painting. There was NO evidence on the package of anything being dropped on it. The painting had impact marks. Las Lagunas refused to pay me for the painting THEY damaged.

    I have since repainted the piece.
