Beyond Eden Sneak Peek!
Beyond Eden! Oh, what those words imply–the knowledge of good and evil, the struggle to make one’s mark in a harsh world, and the desire to return to a paradise lost. All of that is implicit in Beyond Eden, the two day art fair at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery at Barnsdall Park, October…
