Santa Monica Airport Artwalk 2024 Was A Huge Success!

 

Wow! Over 1400 folks visited our studios during the latest 2024 edition of the Santa Monica Airport Artwalk. Thanks to all the folks who visited my studio and engaged with me, my family, and my art. Producer and creator Austin Ross and his partner the amazing (The Harder They Fall) Annabel Durst brought scintillating energy into my studio. My recent painted homage to Basquiat found a moment with Austin while @sergioarau looked on from the background with a copy of @la_weather_novel by @mariaescandon in his hands. Good vibes, good folks, good hope! Thank you @18thstreetarts , @cityofsantamonica, @stgactor
