Here’s a video of me sketching a live model at the Townley Gallery:

A New Door Opens

hrivera — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 05:38:12 +0000

Once I decided to start a new technique using lime plaster, a material imported from Italy at a very prestigious store “Vero Rialto”. I never imagined that this place would become my studio where I create most of my pieces.

The Recession

The recession affected my job as a muralist so I had so much free time; I decided to use it painting on canvas, soon after I was selling my art pieces in Laguna Beach were I was very well accepted.
This was my dream for long time, becoming now a reality.

The Messenger

Once my sister Sandra was in the kitchen when someone called at the door, there was a person offering bible studies; my sister accepted them. Later on we realized that this person was an artist whom some time after offered me a job as a muralist. I believe god
sent this person to help me find my real passion.

The Lines on my Forehead

Once I was invited to a party where I was seated next to a person in his seventies, he said to me that he could read my forehead. It was intrigued, after reading my forehead he said that I will succeed because I have only one line. The time passed and I realized that the
line he mentioned was the line of art.

The Great Decision

I attended college at Orange coast, and would walk daily through the art department. I would stand there for hours watching everyone paint. The teacher took note and one day asked me if I was interested in taking his class.

This was the commencing of my career as an artist.

My Childhood

I recall my father buying me drawing materials as a boy. I now realize that’s what helped me develop a great interest for the arts. What a great thing!!! The things we learn as a child we never forget.
