I had my first official art opening at CARGO's new fantastic space at 81 SE Yamhill off Water Street. It was Cargo's official opening as well and Dia De Los Muertos. Great people, great food, great music - a very soulful evening. Most of the paintings you see here were sold. I couldn't have had a better virginal experience having just rediscovered my love of painting through the encaustic medium. Thanks to everyone for coming out! And special thanks to Patty, Bridgid and Amy for making it happen. I love you guys...
