	'OAXACA COLLECTION' EXHIBIT Come see my 2023 Oaxaca Collection up-close at this solo exhibit showcasing my entire series on raw canvas, plus a few extra Mexico-inspired works. Influenced by the abundance of earthy, natural materials found in Oaxaca, each piece tells a story of the rich history and culture of this magical city.
