HUMBLE BEAUTY Artist has show in Santa Monica!

Enrique Marquez, one of the very talented artists profiled in HUMBLE BEAUTY, has an exhibition of his paintings at the James Gray Gallery, Bergamot Station, in Santa Monica, California. The Opening Reception is Saturday, February 13 from 6 to 9pm and the show runs through March 14th. Another artist from Skid Row, also with stunning work, Martin Hidalgo, will have his paintings in the show too. This is an exciting opportunity for the artists to debut their artwork at a mainstream gallery far from downtown Los Angeles in the upscale, arts conscious community of Santa Monica. We wish them every success!
