Amun Mutsun Mural

I and the Plaza History Association of San Juan Bautista, have been invited to pursue a grant to create a mural depicting the daily life activities of the Amun Mutsun peoples, who populated this area, prior to the Spanish padres and missions.  This is ever so exciting.  Hope to complete this process in the next few months.

Belief and Change, Change and Belief

Let’s examine “change” to usher in the new year, that is the oriental “year of the tiger.” This is ruled by the planet Uranus, which signifies “change.” I want to particularly examine the “change of beliefs,” which can free us to become who we really are and create our most poignant connections. Attached is a wonderful video about this subject.  Wonder what change will be manifested in my art work?
