I have been given a wonderful opportunity to visit the town of Sayulita, Mexico. Two of my dear friends have built an amazing and artistic Villa overlooking the Pacific Ocean. They have gifted me a trip to experience this unique work of art named Villa Poema De Amor – Villa Love Poem. Tomorrow morning, Wednesday September 4th at 6:30am I will begin my travels to Mexico.
Longtime Ashlanders Zan Nix and Lloyd Haines created Villa Poema De Amore together. It is a beautiful example of craftsmanship filled with art from the local artisans. I plan to learn all that I can about its creation and the town it resides in.

Efren Gonzalez with Ceramic Mural
Ashland Art Center is so excited to bring International Artist Efren Gonzalez to Southern Oregon for a visit and round of workshops in September!
