Gabe Leonard is an internationally acclaimed California-based artist, best known for his cinematically staged paintings of sharpshooters, gangsters, gamblers, and musicians. His aesthetic and subject matter have been described as a melding of Johnny Cash and Quentin Tarantino. Meet the artist and watch as he demonstrates his painting technique live in the gallery. Original oils, hand-embellished artist proofs, and limited edition giclees on canvas will be available for collection with signing and dedication by the artist.

Gallery Director – Melissa Inez Walker:

“Every year I look forward to this show! Gabe never disappoints. The quality and subject matter of his new work will definitely make you a fan! Gabe has some surprises planned for the evening you don’t want to miss.”/blockquote>
