Nestor Martinez is a local artist who has been showing with us here at the gallery for over 10 years. Nestor started showing with us as a young high school student from Coronado High School. He was referred through another local artist and Nestor’s art teacher at the time, Chad Knapp. Over the last decade, Nestor’s style has evolved into a recognizable, mature, and contemporary form. He is currently an art instructor and mentor at the Boys and Girls Club. He also has a studio in the downtown area where he welcomes visitors and holds events to help promote other local artists. We appreciate having Nestor in our gallery and he is such a great role model for young aspiring artists.
