Dondi J. Aguirre
Dondi has always had an interest in figurative drawing and painting. It is through making art that has been a creative outlet for an expressive release. An outlet that he hopes will connect to the viewer and that they may be emotionally moved, that they may relate to what they are seeing in some way or manner when they look at his artwork.
