Pete Villaseñor

I switched to Painting, from Printmaking for many years in SF, after moving to Oakland in 2015 and all while working full-time with the Oakland Public Library, César Chávez Branch. For the past couple years, after decreasing my work week to three days, I've been exploring other mediums like Watercolor and Mixed-Media. When I finally retired from the library (after 27 years) this past August, I returned to Printmaking as well. I see art as a way to survive, thrive, and celebrate life and I'm grateful to have more time than ever to do just that with my partner Craig, and all under the watchful eye of our beautiful and ever-present beloved cat, Luna.
