A Solo Exhibition at Papi's Pies - May 2023
I attended my very first solo art exhibition as a visitor four years ago and it was at Papi's Pies.
Who knew there was such creativity and a vibrant art community in Round Rock?
So it is with great pleasure that I have the opportunity to share some of my work at this wonderful place.
Thank you to Jose & Julio for their support of the arts!
The Beauty Within
By exploring the unexpected beauty that surrounds us,
I hope to inspire you to more fully appreciate
the wonder of the nature that we live within
and the balances that exists all around us.

Tip-toe cross the bridge’s worn open railroad ties
but don’t look down into the deep gully below.

The sight and the smell of the wildflowers

As the annual cycle once again opens up into Spring,
I hope that you too can see something refreshing
and interesting in this season of renewal.
