Exploring TOSCA is a beautiful quarterly arts and culture magazine and the most comprehensive guide for art events in the Twin Cities region (Minneapolis-St Paul, Minnesota).
Last year they launched the American Artist Series where one artist was chosen by the editor-in-chief to represent each state. In their current issue (winter), I am extremely honored that I am being featured with the title of "California Artist of the Year."

Arts and culture thrive in this part of America's Heartland. I didn't know this but many sources point out that the Twin Cities have more theatre companies per capita than any city outside of New York, for example.
Incidentally, I am going to St Paul later this year to teach a workshop at the Northstar Watercolor Society (October 15-19), so I am especially pleased with the feature in the magazine and looking forward to visiting there. For more information on my workshops, please click here.
