Day 2 of our Holiday Cheer series highlights the art and creative works by El Paso native, Patrick Gabaldon, featured at the El Paso International Airport’s Visitor Information Center. Gabaldon is a prominent artist in the Sun City who owns his local business . 🎨
Much of Gabaldon’s art is heavily influenced by El Paso’s cross-border culture and beauty, so take a trip to the Visitor Center to see and buy Gabaldon’s work. 🖌️
