Pavel Acevedo

"Black Biel (60 fwy)"

Pavel Acevedo of Riverside, California, pulled his print at Urge Palette art store (Riverside).  Pavel is originally from Oaxaca, which is a printmaking Mecca right now.

on our trip to Los Angeles

Deborah Cool-Flowers drove her Laguna etching press out from El Paso to Riverside, and gave it to Pavel, to do this edition and more magnificent prints.
