"The very foundation of community is unity". A former Board Member of the Cathartic Arts Center in Southern California, I sat on the inaugural Board of Admission for The Oakland School of the Arts in 2000, 1 was an instructional arts educator to ages 6 to senior at the.School of Life Academy for 2 1/2 years also in Southern California, I am the founder of Muzick Communication Arts Media Organization (MCAMO)and California Arts Project Association (CAPA)organizations, Art Director of tHE ART of MUZICKV,and also the owner Executive Creative Art Director of `Z' GALLERY ARTS Center, All are units of Muzick Communication Divisions(MCD). I work in several mediums including pencil, Graphite,Charcoal, Pastel, Watercolor, Oil, Print Photography, Wood and Music Audio.My portrait work and collections are Rich with expression,drawing on the viewer's ability to feel the moment in time the Subject was captured. In Music Audio I have attempted to master a technique,which seems to capture the Minds eye,transcend time and cast listeners,back into a time when things may have Been a bit more enjoyable in ones life.A truly unique experience in the marriage Between visual and audio arts.Many of my portraits of musicians reflect the deep Passion and respect I for performing artists and their music. For five years in the 90's, I funded and operated a cultural arts center in the Inland Empire, City of Pomona in Southern California, After receiving no positive support port From the city of Pomona,the community, and overwhelming pressure from my,property Owner to turn my community Cultural Arts Center into a retail establishment. I decided Rather than allow myself to be forced into becoming a commercial establishment (Turning a blind eye to the needs of service, instruction and education in arts I Could provide to the community)I would close my doors. Currently my motivation to create artwork is fueled by a strong passion to educate And preserve the memory of true musicians and vocal artist(before everything was just The push of a button in some digital studio)I am driven by a great love for music, Most of all jazz&blues. As the executive creative art director of'Z' GALLERY ARTS Center I bring my efforts To life through exhibits, events,activities and community services held at the ZGAC Located in the city of Richmond,California. I look to local business to help support the arts. I unite local artists and community Based themes to merge small business,residences,and interested parties into creative Realm of the arts. I expound on the great need for art education and the respect for Original artwork concepts in all expressions, mediums and genres.

Occupation/Employer: I am currently employed as a substitute teacher by the John Swett Unified School District. I'm also on the sub list for the Oakland Unified School District.

I am interested in serving West County mainly because we have such a great county with many productive artists who could be encouraged by the county commission. Compared to Alameda County with their great cities of Berkeley and Oakland, there are very few artists who are willing to be listed in the ProArts catalog that covers Contra Costa as well as Alameda County. Perhaps it is time for CCC to have our own ProArts type of organization in West county, since it has been so successful at promoting the arts in Alameda and San Francisco. Mr. John Diestler of Contra Costa College, suggested that I apply. My resume is below.
