<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GaleriaGila, post: 78748, member: 993&quot;]I finally &quot;read the directions&quot; and realized that new members are supposed to introduce themselves here.&nbsp; What a great idea.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m a native Houstonian, now displaced in Yankee-land (Cleveland).&nbsp; I am a nontraditional artist, using unusual materials (Bondo, spray paint, styrofoam) in addition to acrylics, oils and precious metals.&nbsp; My themes are Mexican and Southwestern, and my style is usually folkish, reminiscent of street art and graffiti, although I dabble in realism. </p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I sell art locally and regionally.&nbsp; I also sell online a little bit, mostly for the fun of &quot;meeting&quot; people from everywhere and sharing ideas (it&#039;s awkward to sell my art based on my pathetic photography... I&#039;m never comfortable with that... people should see and touch art to appreciate and purchase it, I believe).&nbsp; I&#039;m &quot;loro-rico&quot; on eBay and &quot;GaleriaGila&quot; on ETSY.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I love animals, history, anthropology, poetry, monster movies, cold rainy days and hot Mexican food. </p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s my hope that I can give and receive help/support in the arts,&nbsp; and also antiques (especially natural history prints, in particular, birds), pop culture, and Mexican-American culture.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Hola, y&#039;all, glad to be here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
