This week's featured artist is someone local. Frank Gonzales was born in Mesa Arizona and raised in Tempe Arizona and his interest in art began early in life. He was encouraged to apply for a scholarship which he received. He graduated from the Laguna College of Art & Design.
His stay in California turned into 6 years and then in New York for another 6 years before returning to his roots in Arizona.
His signature "raindrops of color" is something I recognize right away. This painting was featured in an exhibit at the Desert Botanical Garden but I've seen his work in other locations as well. I did a post about that exhibit at the garden on my Phoenix Daily Photo blog.
