Portraits of the Central Coast
Portraits from this project are really self portraits of all of us.
Here you will see individual paintings and videos unfold and tell the story of our community.
This is a unique and original synthesis of viewing the human landscape of Santa Barbara. We get a glimpse of the human potential only hinted at by using one media. This multi faceted approach to portraiture begins with an individual subject being a portal to not only their appearance, but to their history, their dreams and accomplishments and their relationship to the larger community that gives their life color, purpose and meaning.
