We bought some prints from Pavel Acevedo. A Oaxacan printmaker currently living in Riverside. With the Oaxaca Collective carpeta. Was on display at Urge Pallete. Art supply shop, so we made a detour through Riverside on our way to Los Angeles. We were pleasantly surprised to find Pavel Acevedo there when we walked in. We did not meet Pavel during our trip to Oaxaca.
