Alexis Parks is a graduate from Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, where she double-majored in Business Administration and Studio Arts. Bringing this book to life has been a dream come true for her. She grew up admiring Nilo Santiago's art and listening to his stories. During the hours she spent photographing Mr. Santiago's work and assembling each page, she learned more about him than she could have imagined."Nilo Santiago is an amazing artist and has lived a truly impressive and fulfilling life. He is rich with stories based on experiences all around the world. Creating this book for Nilo has been an honor," said Alexis. "I am continuously amazed by his talent and by the sheer number of paintings, sculptures, and other pieces of art he has stored in his house. This book is just a sampling of the work he has created over the years."
