The purpose of CCAA is to promote interest in and appreciation of fine art. We provide opportunities to meet, and network with artists of all skill levels; show paintings in galleries and other local venues; the ability to enter your work in juried shows; attend monthly demonstrations by well-known artist(do not need to be a member to attend); provide workshops, have a library of art materials available, and receive a monthly newsletter. We meet at the El Estero Park center in Monterey, on the 4th Monday of each month, except July, and December at 6:30-8:00 p.m. Go to our website for information on joining, and more information about events, workshops, etc.
Using traditional wet and dry artists’ media, digital images or comic art, I create provocative art that draws from personal experiences, dreams and altered states to challenge viewers’ assumptions of what is real and normal.
Following in the ancient traditions of artists as storytellers and truthsayers of the tribal community, I combine visual images and words. My work aims to subvert the dominant culture of inequality, whether that culture is reflected in politics, daily life or what passes for entertainment.
