Video: Gallery opening and artist interview for “Exposición de arte pro conservación de la vida animal”

What an amazing exposition we had at the beautiful Alianza Francesa in Monterrey, Mexico. Collaborating with Silvia to encourage animal conservation was a fantastic experience. She located and secured the venue, she picked up my prints from the printer in Mexico, she worked with Caro Rodriguez at La Alianza Francesa to hang them and so much more. The weekend of the opening was such a wonderful experience. Silvia and her family went out of their way to make sure we felt at home in their beautiful city. Together our two countries can do beautiful things. Two other talented painters participated in the exposition also: Leny Garza Alanis and Angelica Flores Chapa.

I participated in the Artists' Alley for the annual OB Street Fair and Chili Cook Off in my home town. Was a great experience. So thankful to those who helped me set-up, run the booth, and take down. So glad to see all of my friends, family, and new acquaintances who stopped by.

My work will show in this gallery in Monterrey for a few weeks very soon.

Proud to find out that my piece "The Gathering" was selected to be part of the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art's show this month.

Hauling around a tripod, camera, and heavy lens, dressed in layers of warm clothes, crunching through snow. Breathing cold air, feeling the calm, quiet energy at the summit of the vast mountain range 20 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska. A moment that comes close to finding the soul I search for in my work.

Preparing for night fine art creation. Searching for compositions for my Aurora Streams work during the day so at night I could focus on adding the lights to finish my vision for each piece. This is me by the trees in my piece called "We Are". It was quite cold to this San Diego Native's blood; shooting in these extremes required considerable acquisition of skills, not to mention a new love of REI handwarmers.
