GENE <br />GENE Jimenez <br />5/1/2017 <br />Name of Artist: <br />GENE <br />Letter of Interest: <br />was born and raised in Santa Ana. My great grandfather, Martin Morales, delivered <br />fruits and vegetables to the barrios of Logan and Santiago in the '40's. My uncles were <br />laborers for many iconic Santa Ana landmarks, including the Eddie West Field, and the <br />courthouse. My grandfathers compadre Rudy Gallegos built the Santa Ana library and <br />many more buildings downtown. <br />It is 'of' me to want to contribute to create a beautiful downtown for Santa Ana. Its my <br />home. <br />see the 'transformation' that the Arts District has undergone and would like to offer my <br />talents for the Downtown Restroom Artwork Project. Whereas the Arts District has really <br />taken on a colorful urban landscape, I would like to offer something that reflects true <br />transformation from nature itself. Butterflies. Nothing in nature is more wondrous than <br />the transformation of the butterfly, and like the butterfly, Santa Ana is transforming itself <br />right before our very eyes. <br />Please see my attached images for a sample of my vision. Thank you. <br />GENE <br />artist <br />Your website (optional): <br />artofgene.com <br />
