Synopsis "Our Ever Changing World: Through the Eyes of Artists #4 Artists, ART & Story"
I believe that Artists are in some way Historians - that their work saves something from becoming forgotten. And, artists more than just create art-they are also a product of it -it's a way they filter things, their experiences, thoughts, actions, that show up everyday, exposed in the art they create. Why only Southern California? First because it's my native home and - second, I choose to have my books document the lively, varied, not only the locals, but those from all over the world who come to live here for more than the sun, waves, and entertainment ... but for the opportunity to be a part of a thriving uniquely different way of living, art-making...and the diversity of it all - one hell of a vibration. The title Artist, ART & Story brings together the whole of art. Each is represented, the ARTIST by their name, ART by the image, and Story by their recounting of something that "happened" in their life that has nothing to do with, or the mention of ART. Completing the whole.
