Thank you for coming out to Art to Awaken The Mind in Sausalito. It was a great show. The Life Studio, a chiropractic studio run by Colleen Lindstrom, was transformed into a beautiful gallery for the weekend and I hung 14 new paintings.
It was a pleasure to answer questions about my process and also to watch people respond to the paintings. Abstract art is a mirror to our own souls. We see what we see. Imagery is not obvious and our minds are free to play and interpret through our own lens. It is because of this that abstract art can awaken your mind to your true self. That is the goal, to find our true self.
During the night, a visitor sat in front of my painting, titled, “Passing Through” and wrote a song. He studied the painting, aware of how it made him feel, and composed another original work of art of his own.That was one of a few very special things that happened that weekend.

The painting Ascension is mysterious and structured, so the name fits. It’s beautiful and admirable.
I presently have no car, but have seen some art studios in Sausalito in person, while at work in Ft. Mason in printmaking, and on PBS. People who can have a studio
to do their work among other artists should be very thankful.
Thank you for your comment on Ascension. I am always grateful to paint, no matter where I am. Kitchen table, garage. I personally don’t need the other artists around me during creation. I actually find it a distraction. I do love to collaborate however and there is nothing like a great creative space shared once in a while.
