A recent speaker at our February luncheon meeting, Paige Wery is the owner and curator of The Good Luck Gallery, located in the heart of the Chinatown arts district. She brings twenty years of experience and a passion for intuitive art to the venture. For six years she was the publisher of Artillery, Southern California’s premier art magazine. The Good Luck Gallery is the only gallery in Los Angeles to focus on showcasing self taught art. Whether it is called Outsider, Folk Art or Visionary, the emphasis is on artists who are driven by a compulsive need to create and who work beyond the margins of the traditional art world.
