Carlos Ochoa works in sculpture and stained glass, as well as oils, as used in this original piece. Look closely and you'll realize that's no simple mat around the image; it's unpainted surface area on the aluminum that Carlos used as a "canvas"! You'll also note that his signature is etched in the aluminum itself.

Colombian-born,  Carlos was awarded the keys to the city of Pawtucket for a recent exhibition of his works at the Blackstone Valley Visitors' Center.
