Description:

Head to the newly opened Berkeley Bowl West Marketplace in Berkeley for a chance to view 107 oil paintings that have been permanently installed, along with a sizable interactive painting. On top of this, I have also completed a range of public works commissions in the Bay Area, including my Noah's Ark mural for the Berkeley Jewish Community Center situated on Rose and Walnut streets. The biggest of these commissions is the memorial mural for Dr. Linus Pauling, which commemorates his life's work, located in the City of Palo Alto. Using my symbol language, I was able to depict his life's work and concepts.

For me, painting and writing go hand in hand, completing my sense of fulfillment. Painting enables me to express profound emotions that words cannot do justice, while writing lets me be specific and detailed, sharing my insights and ideas in novels and spiritual philosophy books.

Teaching painting is my way of paying it forward and sharing everything I have gained from a lifetime of painting in oil on canvas, passing on not just techniques but also personal learnings and discoveries.

Ross Drago was crucial in helping me discover my artistic potential, leading me to unearth an inner world of vibrant landscapes within the 5th Dimension. His support and guidance were instrumental in propelling my art career in a positive direction. In 1990, I stumbled across the ENERGY ART SCHOOL, where Ross' unwavering dedication and nurturing guidance enabled me to tap into the endless potential of my soul. This ultimately led to my journey of creating intricate pieces of 5th dimensional artwork. I wholeheartedly wish for future aspiring artists to have the fortune of learning from this beloved teacher. I am forever grateful for the inspiration he instilled in me, which continues to inspire me even today. May his work be blessed by God.

It is a delight to have Ross as my painting teacher. He has a perceptive eye, discerning my strengths and areas that require improvement. His approach to art is invaluable, as it helps me navigate my own creative path. What sets Ross apart is his genuine interest in his students' growth and the way he encourages and challenges us to reach our potential. I have never encountered a teacher who so effectively facilitates my self-expression. Never does Ross impede my vision, nor hold me back – a rarity indeed.

The admiration I have for Ross is indescribable. Every Friday, attending our painting class is a true pleasure for me. Ross' skills go beyond that of a painter and he is truly a master of his craft. His guidance and encouragement has allowed me to recognize my own artistic abilities and helped me take the first step to discover my own identity. Ross' talent has inspired me greatly to showcase my own skills. He is not just a painter but also an inventor, and an accomplished author, a true gem to our society. I am immensely grateful for the time that I have been able to spend with him. As he continues to be recognized for his incredible contributions towards humanity, I am fortunate to be able to learn from him. Thank you, Ross, for everything!
