Gordon Skinner Opening/ DaSilva Gallery - Chris Randall

This is Gabriel DaSilva. He is a cool guy. He does cool things like speak with a Spanish accent and, as seen in the photo below, helps Westville like an un-caped crusader. Gabe owns and operates a frame shop and gallerey called Westville Gallery/ DaSilva Gallery. Gabe says that he loves New Haven because he realizes how special of a place it is upon returning after being away for a while. "The people make this city special. I believe in my city, and I believe in my neighborhood..."

These photos are from the tail-end of an opening reception for Gordon Skinner's collection of paintings titled "Hard Works". Gordon started painting in 2009 and hopes to inspire others to follow their passions. For more information about Gordon or his Westville show visit www.westvillegallery.com

West(Gotham)ville is safe another night thanks to Gabe!
