Divine Inspiration: How to Release the Artist Within
[Excerpts from the Book, Sample Chapters]
INTRODUCTION
At the age of eight I decided to be an artist. I didn't really know what that meant until high
school when I was looking for a focus in my life –– a focus that would always be with me, one I would
be able to search out and grow with.
I knew I had to leave Michigan. It was east or west and I chose the West Coast. I settled in
Oakland to pursue graduate studies in art with a scholarship at the California College of Arts, and a
special arrangement with the University of California, Berkeley, with the same privileges as the Cal
students. There was so much stimulation and I loved all of it.
I explored San Francisco restaurant by restaurant, went to two movies a week (reading Pauline
Kale to help me choose), and went to one or two concerts at the University of California and jazz in San
Francisco after my Monday night painting seminar. North Beach in San Francisco had wonderful places
to hear the jazz greats such as Anita O' Day, John Coltrane, and Dizzy Gillespie. If anyone talked, he
would stop playing.
There was studio time, of course. I studied painting but soon evolved into collage, assemblage,
and montage. The University of California has extensive libraries where I would disappear for days.
Here I was exposed to the Dada, Surrealism, and Vortex movements by studying from the original
documents. And I had the time to do it.
