Jose Alvarez (D.O.P. A.) is celebrated for his bright paintings featuring natural materials such as porcupine quills and feathers on mica canvases. His work is collected by museums across the country. His two-acre tropical garden provides inspiration and material for his art and reflects his deep connection with the natural world. Shoulder and arm pain are reduced with three simple movements.
