Update on past unscrupulous "gallery" relationships~
The Golden Manzanita Gallery in Sedona closed, and I was eventually paid for my artwork that they sold after the case went to court. The individuals involved operated under a variety of different aliases, and were based in Sedona, Arizona, or possibly Los Angeles, CA. Also, possibly seeking to have "investors" in film production schemes, or other health and wellness related business scams/schemes. Consider yourself forewarned... Aalia Golden, Aalia Kazan (Sedona), Rev. Aalia K. Golden Other parties and names involved in the business were: Aalia K. Golden, Aalia Kazan, Mark G. Gilhuis, Marcus G. Golden, Marcus Gilhuis, Studio Manzanita, Manzanita Gallery, Golden Manzanita Gallery, Manzanita Magic, Kentia Yoseyva, Qnta Yoseyva, and Light Stream Productions.
