Today I was honored with hanging the Thomas Parham Exhibit in the Artists' Guild gallery at the Chapman Cultural Facility with the help of a few friends. Thomas Parham (1949-2005), who most of you know, was my mentor, has a retrospective showcase of paintings this month. I worked with him for eight years and would not be where I am without him. If you want to see who put up with me, trained me, and was my biggest influence, do yourself a favor, and go see the show. The reception is in the Artists" Guild Gallery, Thursday, February 18th from 6:00pm-8:00pm. The show runs until the 27th.

Thomas entered my life and opened something that cant be closed. He polished my creativity and my skill. He gave me what I always wanted, a career in art, a belief in myself, and the ability to become what I wanted to be, me. Thanks Mr. Parham.
