WAYS TO GET UNSTUCK

I was honored to be part of the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum's Guest Lecture Series a few weeks ago. I discussed my painting process, how I find inspiration, why I left the fast lane to become a painter and what the transition was like. The big question was how I get through the inevitable creative blocks or stuck periods.

“Art is personal and spiritual. If my painting stimulates any sort of thought from the viewer I suppose I have spoken to them. Or maybe I have spoken to their soul. Yes, that would be nice.”

Read the New York Times article about Santa Barbara. Lots of ideas of what to do in this jewel of a coastal town. Visit the historical sites, dine where the locals dine, shop like the stars, take a cruise up the coast, find a perfect hotel and watch the sunset on beautiful Butterfly Beach.
