PRESENTER:  Paul Gonzalez, Pet Sculptor

Join us on November 1 in the Cribari Conference room at 1:45 p.m. to enjoy a ceramic demonstration by Paul Gonzalez.  We will also hold elections of our new Board members at this meeting.

Paul has been entranced in art since early childhood as a native of San Jose.   You will enjoy his Pet Portraits in 3D Ceramics which are very lifelike.  (See photo.)

Paul's experience in art spans his scholarship to Cal Arts Los Angeles, travel, teaching, a muralist, painting in Hawaii and a lover of art inspiring music .

After his lengthy and fruitful travels with a band,  he returned home and took up ceramics.  Paul's indigenous influenced ceramic works landed him many teaching venues and workshops locally.  This has all led to Paul J. Gonzalez Art Studios which he owns and operates, encompassing a variety of art.

With over 200 murals to his name in private and public places, he helped conceive and organize the “Bus Bench Mural Project” in San Jose.  Many examples are on utility boxes painted throughout San Jose.  Paul added computer programs, digital techniques and 3D modeling software, rounding out more artistic efforts than most of us.

Currently his passions are sculptural furniture woodwork and fashion,  noting they connect in construction and aesthetics, both leaning toward futuristic.  Your personal involvement can be fulfilled if you engage him to model one of your pets as did Villager Marcy Boyles.  

A Special note:  Paul has not been vaccinated but do join us at our Membership Meeting and please wear a mask.
