I've rented a physical space in the Hillcrest neighborhood of San Diego to share my artwork with my community in person. "Estate Sale" is the title of my exhibit, opening February 7 from 5–10 p.m. at 829 Washington St. This space also features a large mural I recently painted, and I’ll be displaying many new works exploring the growing disparity in our lives. - Beverages and tunes will be provided to ease your social anxiety.
