by Sammy Gonzales: Sammy Gonzalez is an advocate of Fresno and all it has to offer. He has always been drawn to the creative process involved in producing art. He usually finds the process more intriguing than the finished project. Although Sammy focuses on oil painting, he also illustrates, draws, and enjoys graphic design. Sammy only recently started his art career after discovering how naturally painting comes to him. He has a degree in Kinesiology: Exercise Science, with a minor in Rehabilitation, from CSU Fresno. Although he enjoys the physical rehabilitation field, he feels his true talent belongs to the art world and hopes to find a lifetime of success doing what he loves. Sammy finds inspiration everywhere, and desires to inspire those around him to bring more art into their lives.
