Meet the artist and enjoy refreshments. The exhibit runs February 3 – 29, 2012, and is available for viewing before any regularly scheduled performance. To schedule a private viewing, please email the gallery director Jesus Fidel at jfidel@rocketmail.com In honor of the artist’s mother, Lee Nafus, Houchin Blood Bank will be on site accepting donations during the reception. A note from the artist: "I have incorporated my mom, Lee Nafus, in this exhibit because I would love so much to give her credit. I believe that the way I look at the world and the way that I make my art has everything to do with the heart that she has given me. My mom passed away in 2006 from a brain aneurysm. Before she left us, she was given the aid of four blood transfusions. It is because of this that I greatly appreciate those who donate blood. I ask, if at all possible, that you give blood in honor of all the beautiful hearts out there, and especially that of Lee Nafus.

From one heart to another...thank you!" ~Sara Nafus~ |
