About Me
- Lonack Signature
- United States
- I am a multidimensional, hands-on creative artist and poet with a San Diego based home studio. Having always been too curious and too creative, I have continually studied a variety of artistic disciplines and philosophies throughout my life with established teachers...unstable teachers, artists, schools and whatnot. This, paired with a lifelong investigation into spirituality, has given me a large creative toolkit from which to draw ;) and interest to (respectively) play with, break, challenge, modify, ignore and celebrate the rules related to the aforementioned studies. I am a strong believer in not messing with a child's innate curiosity and wonder, the value of family (however defined), individual creativity, community, and our environment. I continue to study and enjoy creative expressions-with the exception of acid jazz. Some common characteristics found within my work are: re-purposing everyday items and discard-able things, harmonizing opposites, playing with current beliefs and assumptions with a whimsical twist, and delicately blending spontaneity with discipline. The end results are simple, joyful expressions of wonder imbued with an invitation to discover more.

O
it all comes from the same place
is made from the same stuff
returns back from itself into itself
and back to forth
... with maybe a bit of rest now and then too
but not really
what a glorious miracle "reality" is -
so darn believable!

Postcards From The Path, San Francisco
I was inspired - Poetry Bombing at
The Beat Museum,
San Francisco, CA, USA
A nod to George Rodrigue with a little twist and glitter
Love the detail on this grate-ffiti. (you will have to zoom in)
Fun to have spied this style around the city.
(Same artist below)
The Bay - San Francisco's Symphony Hall's loading bay that is.
I currently have a cone fixation as I am currently working on a silly series with them.
I like how taking the vibrancy out of the color by going grey scale forces the viewer to see the familiar objects as part of a composition. The texture and pattern is yummy and I can hear the Sesame Street tune "one of these is not like the other..." playing in the back of my mind - even though all the objects are traffic related items.
I guess it would be nice of me to show the original photo, but I'm not going to. One's mind already has filled in the colors,
lighting a smile of recognition.
Like A Finger Pointing To The Moon
packages of rain for envelopes
full of sunshine
that last a whole day through
...
you can sprinkle them 'round as you see fit:
sow them like clouds
sew them like seeds
all stitched together
like a smile
