About the artist: Daniel Gonzales
My formal training as an artist started when I was 12 and enrolled along with my two younger brothers, Octavio and Abel, into the Academia de arte Yepes, a free art school held in the basement of Salesian High School in East L.A. taught by muralist George Yepes. We stayed for six years and studied easel and mural painting in a very informal and hands-on environment. We completed 35 different mural projects in that period of time and developed a real appetite for art. At eighteen, I applied and was accepted to the California College of Arts and Crafts. I attended for two years studying graphic design. It was there that I was introduced to printmaking and the letterpress. I moved back to LA in 2002 where I met Artemio Rodriguez and had a two-year apprenticeship at La Mano Press. I refined my technique there and learned a great deal from watching Artemio at work.
