Press Release Body =
California became the fifteenth state to be included in a national art project
entitled The Nomadic Project. Kristin Abraham and Alfonso Llamas are the artists
behind this unique vision. Abraham paints a canvas for each state, while Llamas
composes original music. All of the work is created to celebrate this exciting
country, and the adventures that can be had.

The painting, "A Day of Infamy, A Lifetime of Grandeur" was inspired by the previous
state, Arizona. However, it was painted in California. Those following the nomads on
their journey know that they pull inspiration from one state and leave it in a
neighboring state. This blurs the borders, uniting the country, one state at a time.
In this case, the painting was left in the creative city of San Francisco. The Carla
Schmidt Gallery, located in the heart of downtown San Francisco, will proudly
display the piece for sale until the end of November. At that time, the two artists
will have completed their journey, displaying one painting in each of the 48
contiguous states.

The Nomadic Project is as much inspired by the story of this country, as the
personal experiences of two passionate artists. The subject of their work is
historic events, natural beauty and the habits of society combined with familiar
issues of fear, love, family, and success. Whether they have experienced the awe of
the Grand Canyon or just felt insignificant in an overwhelming world, each viewer
can relate to topics addressed in both Abraham and Llamas' work.

A Day of Infamy, A Lifetime of Grandeur is an acrylic on canvas painting,
twenty-four inches wide and thirty inches tall. This particular piece brings the
diverse beauty of Arizona together with its native beliefs, along with the
remembrance of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. On a more personal level, the painting
symbolizes an unforeseen event that left the artists temporarily stranded in Tucson.

Kristin Abraham and Alfonso Llamas want to encourage art enthusiasts to participate
in The Nomadic Project at www.TheNomadicProject.com. To ensure purity in the
artists' vision, they are NOT accepting donations. They would rather share their
inspirations through building relationships via email. Each email is guaranteed a
part in the exhibit that will follow the original path around the country. Paintings
can also be purchased through participating galleries, and the owner will receive an
engraved nameplate to be displayed with their piece.
