He has skillfully advanced the arts in our region with his artwork and as a member of the Seattle Arts Commission, and as a creator, director and founder of the Art Attack/ Alternative Spaces in Boise and Seattle. He has exhibited and managed his artwork in more than 100 art institutions. Rodriguez worked with the Capital Improvement for the City of Seattle, and was a member responsible for the "Public Art Collection" and the city "Portable Art Collection." He created and introduced, for the first time, 8 exhibitions to the Seattle public "Eyes on Public Art" part of the 30 year old art collection of the city of Seattle Art Commission.

He draws on spirituality in his paintings of solemn, lone figures on wooden boxes with rounded edges, making the figures appear almost as if they are in the room. |
