His painting have been touring the world, with exhibitions around Europe and the United States. Now the exhibition ‘Inside Alzheimer’s: Portraits of the Mind” will be on display in Sacramento, California. The 19 piece show will be displayed at the Art Foundry Gallery at 10th and R Streets starting February 6th 2008. Reproductions of some of the pieces will also be on display at the entraance to the Governor’s Office at the State Capital.
The exhibition has been sponsored by Aging Services of California, the advocate for nonprofit senior living and care in the state.
