Upcoming Solo Show

Been working feverishly towards a solo show at the Sonoran Desert Museum. 

A truly magical place to show my work. I'm honored for this opportunity!

                                      Hello Again!!

                  

Hey folks! Its been since 2014 that I last used this Blogspot. I figured I would revisit this platform and use it for news and happenings. I miss this platform as it is a bit more personable and a slower pace than Instagram and Facebook. I have a lot of catching up to do. 

Keep checking back in for news! If you have any questions and/or comments you can email me at frankigonz@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Frank
