I am thrilled to be included in this exciting show at Acosta Strong Fine Art. Artist's featured include, Joseph Henry Sharp, Fritz Scholder, Gustave Baumann, Nicolai Fetchen, John Moyers, Bill Baker, Edward Gonzales, Jim Jennings and myself.
With another painting moving from the on-hold position to the sold position, this weekends opening is considered sold out. I could not be more happy or humbled. Current inventory of my work at Acosta-Strong is obviously low right now, but there are plenty of other artists who’s work you need to get a hold of. Summer is just around the corner and things are about to move pretty fast. Thank you to all who attended and an extra special thank you to collectors. Time to get to work.
Thank you Carlos, everyone associated with Acosta-Strong Fine Art, guests to this weekend’s receptions and collectors old and new. Your support of the work is very meaningful to me and I sincerely appreciate your part in making the opening such a special event. — s.m. chavez

Last night I dreamed I was a mostly naked Indian weraring nothing but a pair of white Adidas shoes. My hair was long and straight as a board. It tickled my butt cheeks as I walked around like everything was normal. Today, I am wearing those same white tennis shoes in honor of the naked...
