We first met Sergio - the Poet. We dug the poetic vibe he had and he quickly became a "Contributing Poet" in our Poetry Forum. Who could have known that Sergio was also a painter? Sergio knew, that's who. In his last poetry submission he surprised us by also submitting several of his swirly surreal paintings. The rest is, as they say, mad history. We are proud to now introduce you to Sergio - the Painter! We invite you to take a stroll thru the i-mad-gination of Sergio Ortiz...
