My Journey as an Artist: Part 5 As I went through the 90's I was still doing many small press illustrations as a freelance contract artist, however, in 1992 I learned how to work in watercolor paints and then began a career in doing landscapes in watercolor. I did watercolor paintings featuring mountains, trees, and oceans and had a fun time doing it. As I got more experience in painting, I began to look for forums to showcase my paintings. I managed to find 2 galleries locally that were instrumental in showing my work. They were Pro Arts, and the Center for Visual Arts both located in Downtown Oakland. I got a vast amount of knowledge in how gallery preparation and shows worked and was able to display paintings in neighboring San Francisco. As the 90's began to wind down I purchased my first ever personal computer, which would yet again take my art journey into another direction. In part 6 of my journey, I will explore the early 2000s and how I made the jump from tradition
