I am a multidisciplinary artist striving to be a creative agent for positive change on this planet. My multiple identities are indivisible. At all times, I am all of the following: A contemporary painter, author, playwright, actor/solo performer, public speaker, certified somatic therapist and mindfulness teacher/coach, real estate entrepreneur in San Francisco, California, and certified naturalist and environmental advocate, engaging in the study of my local Marin County flora and fauna, including birds. In addition, I maintain my local beach on a daily basis and am a world traveler. I have been awarded the certificate of acknowledgement by the U.S. Congress and have been acknowledged by the California State legislature for my work as a leader of change in the San Francisco Bay Area. My process and concepts as a multidisciplinary artist: My writings, paintings, and solo performances are responsive to the current societal norms, values, and socio-political context that are in need of exploration, re-evaluation, and understanding. My creative work responds to space, place, time and people, reflecting my belief that art and creative expression can be committed to interconnection and freedom. Ultimately my book, paintings, and journalistic style theater performances reflect a visual representation of human potential, connection, inclusion and compassion. In times of divisiveness, mindless consumerism, rampant greed, racism, climate change and mental health crisis, I use art to show me a potential path forward. I seek to understand what role art plays as a catalyst for change, and I invite you to do the same in your own unique and special way. We are all co-creators on a planet destined for change, and hopefully transformation for the good of all. My intention is to do my best to engage my viewers, readers, and audience directly, offering moments of introspection. My paintings and theatrical performances often evolve, reflecting tangible marks of connection between viewers and the visual experience expressed on stage, on canvas, and in the exercises and reflections in my book. For me, this is an important part of connecting physically and psychologically with my audience. My work is intended to be in dialogue with audiences in a variety of ways. In my paintings, book, and solo performances, the audience plays a role in the experience in order to arrive at their own unique outcome, an understanding that feels right.
