Happy is pleased to present the December edition of Paper Trail. For the fourth offering of Paper Trail we welcome artists Edith Abeyta, Chelsea Dean, Jaime Ursic and Jim Zver to our highly successful revolving group show of artists’ works on paper.

Paper Trail launched in September and features small works on paper by leading artists working in Los Angeles and beyond. A revolving and continuous show, Paper Trail presents new and exciting artists each month. The artists, in turn, have been invited to explore and exploit the medium of paper, giving viewers an opportunity to acquire good work by established artists at reasonable prices. Works are available for immediate purchase. We want to encourage a constant stream of art viewing, appreciation and consumption, inviting to both new and savvy collectors.

With over 30 established artists and over 100 works available, viewers are taking advantage of this little secret tucked away in Los Feliz - Art makes a perfect gift for the holiday season. Join us on December 3, meet the artists in Paper Trail and start your very own collection!
