Thoughts for the New Year!
Glad 2008 is over. The year was rewarding creatively but also sad for me personally. It's been almost a year since my fathers death and I still think about him at some point everyday. I don't know if that will ever change? I've used the experience of his passing to push me forward. It's in no small way a coincidence that I've made a ton of artwork this past year. My philosophy and nature is to keep busy, look ahead, and not get caught up in the past. I love my father dearly and miss him a whole lot but I also know that each of my own achievements would have made him extremely proud.
Upcoming News for 2009
The new year brings a couple of exhibitions and one that I am particularly excited about since it would have made my dad very happy. In September I will be heading down to El Salvador to participate in an exhibition titled "Intervenciones" at the "Museo De Arte De El Salvador (MARTE)." I was nine years old the last time I was there. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with my birth place and seeing what comes out of the experience.
