The Riverside Art Parlor

From 2011-2021, I experimented with the private studio platform for my chosen craft and interacted with several different artist types of different disciplines and political views gaining a truly unique perspective on life and how and why it should be lived by an individual viewpoint, and that viewpoint can encompass different values and pursuits and the world can be a richer place as a result. After 10 years, and profound loss interpersonal, financial, and familial, I wil...l be closing the doors to #theartparlor. I could sit and complain about the pandemic and it’s narrative that has wreaked havoc on small business in this country and in California particularly and the way this administration has botched relief efforts in response, but I realize by limiting myself business wise and changing roles due a personal family emergency coupled with the events of the past year, it is untenable to maintain the space. I’m glad to have met and worked with some great people and learned a lot more than any business course can probably teach in our new normal paradigm socially. I was thinking back to some of the work done in the studio and came across some unfinished faves on some colorful characters who’ve passed through. Will they ever get finished?! Where have they gone?! Who knows, but it would be a gas to close that chapter for them at some point. Maybe if they catch me one weekend @whitelotustattoo sometime soon! See more
