In This Manilla Envelope the Results of My Insanity

Opening reception for IN THIS MANILLA ENVELOPE THE RESULTS OF MY INSANITY, paintings by Isaac Cuevas. Exhibit runs from June 8–August 7. Artist’s Statement My work explores the mysteries of the mind and reality. I try to surprise myself with the end product, never really knowing how a piece will end. I also add a childish element to most of my work, because I try not to take anything to seriously and believe that children are the essence of God. I believe my work is the word of a higher power, that I am just an instrument in its holy orchestra. I hope you enjoy.
