J Garcia - Within the qualities of an auditory presentation exists the practice of listening so that one can participate with harmony and balance . J Garcia listens to live music and offers a parallel visual representation to concert audiences through the exhibition of the spontaneous application of paint to a surface. One of the original painters on the live music scene, Garcia has painted on stages around the world. Often approaching a performance with an established foundation Garcia facilitates communication with others by erasing distance between musician and audience. Through the use of an essential language of patterned symbols and the animation of an established hierarchy of site specific color Garcia continues to dedicate his endeavors towards the involvement of public art. Recently he has been painting private commission studio pieces, preparing for future exhibitions and performances with various musicians. J Garcia paints in the studio, on public and private walls, and on stage with musicians to further his experiences that embody a process of deepening his internal awareness, sensation and cognitive consciousness as a way of understanding how all the dimensions of the emotional, spiritual, and physical intersect by serving as a channel in the pursuit of higher consciousness. http://www.jgarcialive.com


Jay Mason, a self-taught artist, first began drawing at age 5. During kindergarten, his teacher explained the moving parts of the human eye. She did so by sketching each part. This resonated with Mason; and this experience facilitated his understanding of the power of the visual and its translation into concrete, theoretical, and abstract ideas. Mason traveled to Europe where he studied independently. He spent his days sketching, painting, and studying the works of the masters, with particular close examination of Van Gogh's work at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Mason’s work is big and powerful and ranges from exciting night cityscapes, to portraits of friends, imagined monsters and figure studies. His use of color is inventive and intense, and his paint strokes are bold and almost native in their expression of emotion. A precise eye, Mason is devoting time to perfecting his craft as a painter by spending as much time as possible in his Seattle studio. He frequently collaborates and supports the local arts community and is a prime catalyst in promoting and preserving the underground art scene via organized industry events around the greater Seattle region. http://www.jaymasonart.com/
