The Hawaiian Gardens City Council recognized artist Felix Quintana on April 22 for his work in the LA Metro "Through the Eyes of the Artist" poster series.
The council presented a certificate to Quintana and invited him to describe the cyanotype photographic-collage he created to capture everyday scenes in the one-square-mile city.
