I am really honored and proud to be showing some work in
GALERIA DE LA RAZA's 40th anniversary show. The Galeria has a special place in my heart because i interned there while in college then worked there for another 4 years after. I meet so many wonderful people in the community and was constantly inspired by all of the art work in the space and in the gallery's store, studio 54.
I know i always say this, but the line up really is amazing. Please come by if you're in the hood.
