PAST WORK TRAJECTORY.
MY FOCUS IS DIRECTED TOWARDS ACTUALIZING A WHOLISTIC ART EXPERIENCE UNITING ENVIRONMENT, ART AND CULTURE INTO A MULTILAYERED PRESENTATION WITHOUT CREATING AN INTELLECTUAL BARRIER BETWEEN THE “PEOPLE” AND THE “ARTWORK”. IN EFFECT MY BEST CASE SCENARIO IS TO BRING THE PUBLIC WITHIN THE ART PROCESS ITSELF. WHEN THE PUBLIC BECOME INVLVED WITH THE ART CREATION, THEN THE ART ITSELF TAKES ON MEANING FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE COMMUNITY BECOMES AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE ARTWORK IN AN ONGOING AND UNAFFECTED MANNER.RELATED WORK IN THE FIELD OF CERAMICARTIST IN RESIDENCE AT VENTURA HARBOR 1998 THROUGH 2005 THE VENTURA HARBOR MURAL PROJECT SPANNED SEVEN YEARS AND IS THE LARGEST INSTALLATION OF HAND MADE CERAMIC TILE ON THE WESTERN SEABOARD OF THE UNITED STATES AND WAS CREATED, INSTALLLED, ND FUNDED BY MY INDIVIDUAL EFFORTSRAISING AN ESTIMATED $250,000 DOLLARS FOR THE PROJECT THROUGH FUNDRAISING AND TRADE I INVOLVED FIFTEEN PUBLIC AGENCIES AND RECIVED RECOGNITION AND AWARDS FROM THE US SENATE, THE US CONGRESS, THE STATE LEGISLATURE, THE STATE CONGRESS, THE VENTURA MAYORS OFFICE, THE VENTURA BUREAU OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS AND THE PORT OF VENTURA NOT TO MENTION THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE.
