Bartholomew MAKO…What a talent. I have seen his works dating as far back to the early 1920s thru the 1970s, from all over So. Cal. and other parts of our great country. From schools and universities, churches and Cathedrals, government and private buildings, cemeteries, hospitals, his works are so vast from architecture, sculpture, murals, paintings to ceramics. A true renaissance man. A secret treasure.
