Aileen’s January, February and March 2020 Art Update
aileen imperatrice
After the passing of my Mom in November 2019 and laying her to rest towards the end of that month, I thought I would be grieving and launching into new work expressing my feelings about this. But little did I know what was suddenly in store for me. Coming out of this, I found just a couple of weeks later that I have Cancer. And once again my life is in crisis mode. I am currently undergoing Chemo treatments and trying to focus on my health as well as keep my art career going. If you would like to follow my health journey, you can read my Facebook posts through my page: https://www.facebook.com/aileenri And if you are so moved to want to contribute financial help towards my mounting medical bills, you can do so through a GoFundMe page set up by my husband Tony here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/aileen-battles-cancer?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link-tip&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet
As I shared in my last update, I never regretted making the choice to help care for my Mom during her last year. However, in doing so it meant that I had to put my career aside. This led to a slowdown for 2019.
Life moves forward.
First of all, Thank You to everyone who came out to see my first
2 Solo Shows of 2020: “Moving Forward” at the M Street Arts Complex in downtown
Fresno during January – and – my Pop Up show that happened at the Historic
Romain Bldg. also downtown Fresno for the first week of February. I was able to
show a lot of my work at both venues!
*Next up:
I am happy to share that my art was selected to be part of an impressive show
at realART gallery in Agoura Hills, CA for their “March Show”. The Opening
Reception is Sunday, March 1st 3-6pm. You can find my name listed
along other great artists showing their work here. And you can return for more

I have a couple of books remaining featuring my artwork “Where do we go from here?”, included in the Los Angeles Art Association Volume II catalog of emerging artists produced by my home gallery in L.A., Gallery 825. It is an honor to be selected for inclusion in this hardbound catalog, which is made available to VIP’s in the art industry. If you’re interested in seeing my work, (I’m page 98), and to own this amazing collection of art images from several accomplished artists, send me a message and I’ll make one available to you for purchase as well as sign my page for you. The actual art piece is also currently available.
I will have more exhibitions of my work to share with you soon,
as I promise to keep my art career busy while I continue to look forward to new
opportunities and sales.
