AN INCOMPLETE ACCOUNTING: WHAT LOS ANGELES LOST IN THE FIRES

Simonini fled the Eaton Fire with his family on the morning of Tuesday, Jan. 7. Eight hours later, his home would be gone, consumed by flames. A writer, sculptor, musician, and painter, Simonini's art has been featured globally. He left a lifetime of work at home.
