The gallery is a wonderful tribute to a fantastic artist! In the back of the gallery they have his work area set up just the way it was the day he passed, glasses sitting on the table, paints open and ready to pain, and books scattered on the desk. His interesting illustrative style is expanded on by his daughter who takes the wonderful characters from his paintings and creates 3-dimentional figurines from them. Both the figurines and prints of Lepe's are available at the gallery. They make a beautiful addition to any decor and remind you of your Mexican vacation with every glance.
