About
I'm a visual artist based in Sacramento area. I work for local county and do my civic duty to serve the community. I have a college degree and work 3 jobs and continue to do art everyday. Checkout, my artist profile at Instagram, my account is : @Alphonso_Acosta
I love to do art and sometimes kinda of dislike it, since childhood. In 2011, I sold art in LA and since then I continue to sell, exhibit and rent out my art to, "get it out there", before I burn it up, -for fun! I enjoy to paint or draw or doodle on wood, canvas, or carboard and other mediums. Recycle, I say. Or just paint over.
