Soul Journey Jack Mento’s Abstract Expressionist Paintings A beautiful show of abstract paintings whose brilliance and color and freedom of line is transformative! Big Basin Tasting Room is open for First Friday Santa Cruz from 5-9pm, –open early and late, and are down at the beach end of Pacific Ave just past Evita Restaurant. Join us for a seat at one of the 2 fire-pit tables on our patio, or cozy up on a couch inside. We’ve been looking forward to this show– it’s all new work, recent work and we’ll be celebrating! See you there! Artist Bio Born in Hawaii and growing up in Syracuse, NY my nickname was Diamond, which in Hawaiian is Kaimana. Although Hawaii will always be my spiritual home, I have lived in different places including Hawaii, New York, Arizona, Colorado and currently in the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills in Northern California. My art is a unique expression of the many roads I’ve traveled, the things I’ve felt and seen, and the countless colorful adventures this life has given me. I started painting in 1986 and realized it was a deep way to express myself. At first my art had more of a realistic style that depicted my everyday experiences. Over time my work developed into a visual impression of the world around me and the mystery within. The art always seems to take me beyond what I imagined. Sometimes when I paint, I realize I am merely a witness to what transpires while the brush is in hand. I hope my art reaches people on a level that evokes their imagination about their own inner landscape as well as their curiosity about the world outside themselves. I believe one function of Art is to make visible to you the Mysteries of life on an emotionally deeper level. It is the life within and without that truly has led me to create what you see here. All purchases are through the artist. Please contact the artist to arrange a sale! Email: [email protected] Website: www.kaimanaart.com Venmo: @John-Mento-7
