Fontana Artshow
I’m happy to share that I finally had my first solo art show at Fontana’s Community Arts Center, also known as The Art Depo, located in Fontana, California. For those unfamiliar, Fontana is a small city about 45 minutes east of downtown Los Angeles. The show ran from February 17 to March 16 of this year 2024.
Most of the artwork featured in the show was created between 2018 and 2020, with a few exceptions. Originally, I had planned for this exhibition to take place in 2020, but with the onset of COVID-19 and the subsequent quarantine and lockdowns, everything was delayed. As a result, I focused on developing as much new work as I could over the next few years. I’m still in the process of developing this particular style of painting, and there’s more on the way!
It was incredibly meaningful for me to have this show in my hometown. Having been born and raised in Fontana, many of my personal experiences here have greatly influenced my art. Over the years, I’ve also participated in various local events, creating live art and displaying my work. So, it felt amazing to finally hold an official solo show in the city that has been such an important part of my journey.
I want to thank everyone who came out to support the show, especially my family and friends, as well as the staff at The Art Depo and the City of Fontana. It’s always a special experience to bring my loved ones together in one place, especially when I’m sharing my art with my community.
