Roger Di Camillo is a consummate visual artist. A retired architect, he paints, sketches, sculpts, produces pottery, ceramics, lithographs and glass. This talented Italian-American native New Mexican has exhibited throughout the Southwest and will be the featured artist for the month of October at the new Essence Gallery and Boutique in Old Town Albuquerque's Plazuela Sombra (323 Romero NW, Suite 1).

Stop by Essence on Saturday, October 4 from 5p – 9p to sip a glass of wine with Roger and enjoy a visual feast of his artistic creations. He'll be showing several of his Italian works – scenes from his many travels in Italy – which instantly draw you in and transport you there.

Roger himself is a work of art; he's enthusiastic, gregarious – and always the coolest guy in the room. Don't miss the opportunity to meet him and see this exciting show. Roger is online at http://www.agallerydicamillo.com/
