Havana Club

I don’t usually drink hard liquor, but I can be easily persuaded. My drink of choice is wine, alas, Cuba is not known for it’s vineyards. This bottle is particularly meaningful to me. It was a gift from my friend and fellow artist Raul Villarreal on the occasion of my first solo art exhibit. We have known each other since High School, and he is one of the kindest, calmest, most generous people you will ever meet. He has been an inspiration and catalyst for my Fine Arts career. In short I blame him I credit him for launching my Fine Arts career, and I’m honored to exhibit my art next to his. Salud!
