I met Zolita a few years ago through a mutual gallery in Pasadena. She is my top favorite painter in LA! She has a terrific website here: www.love-art.com I'm glad to have gotten to know her, I consider her my mentor and a good direction to aim for spending a life painting because she continues to see the adventure in it and while she is older than me, her painting is younger! I visited her studio and took some photos, here are some of her recent works and a good shot of her standing next to a near 40 year old self portrait. awesome!
