Painting by Gisa David
I just returned home from an amazing trip to Bisbee, Arizona. The CBJ Flamenco Ensemble performed in the ‘For the Love of Music’ Series on Saturday, March 27th & Sunday, March 28th. I love Bisbee and it is always such a joy visiting and performing there. I was very privileged to cross paths with a very talented artist: Gisa David – acupuncturist & painter. She kindly took some images of the concert on Saturday evening and painted a wonderful piece inspired from the performance. I am honestly beside myself. The painting is absolutely beautiful and I’m honored that she would include me in her artistry. Thank you Gisa.
