In Michaels   more...words :)
"THERE WERE DAYS, IN THE EARLY SIXTIES, WHEN I LITERALLY COULDN'T GIVE MY WORK AWAY! LATER I WENT ON TO HAVE FIVE ONE-MAN SHOWS AND WON NUMEROUS AWARDS AND ONE VERY SPECIAL HONOR, BUT THAT IS ALL HISTORY; I AM CONCERNED WITH THE HISTORY I HAVE LEFT!
I HAVE BEEN A PAINTER, BUT NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER(!), FOR APPROXIMATELY 44 YEARS. IN THE LATE SIXTIES AND EARLY SEVENTIES I DEVELOPED A TECHNIQUE I CALL "MOSAICISM." (BTW, I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS AN ORIGINAL CONCEPT, BUT SOON LEARNED THAT THE AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINES HAVE BEEN PAINTING LIKE THIS FOR HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF YEARS!)
I PAINT THE CANVAS BLACK, USING ACRYLIC PAINTS, AND APPLY SMALL DOTS OF COLOR USING A BRUSH THAT I SPECIALLY ALTER TO DO THIS TYPE OF PAINTING. I TRY NOT TO LET THE DOTS TOUCH, OR HAVE TOO MUCH SPACE BETWEEN THEM. MY SUBJECT MATTER VARIES FROM QUILT PATTERNS, CATS, NOAH AND THE ARK, BONSAI, ABSTRACTS, AND THE USE OF MIXED MEDIA, SUCH AS PRECIOUS STONES, BEADS AND COSTUME JEWELRY WITH MY DOTS.
I AM VERY PROUD THAT MY WORK HAS FOUND A PLACE IN ALL TYPES OF COLLECTIONS; FROM A FARM HOUSEWIFE TO AN ATTORNEY WHO ARGUED AND WON A CASE IN FRONT OF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT, FROM A UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR TO A INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION. ONE OF MY PAINTINGS APPEARED IN THE MAY, 1998, ISSUE OF QUILTER'S NEWSLETTER MAGAZINE"
Happy Birthday Michael!

MICHAEL JACKSON

"An old soul in a young man's voice" is the headline on the front page of the Los Angeles Times Calendar section. The article is about 26 year old Keaton Simons, whose voice is described as   more...having a "lived-in quality that will echo in our minds and hearts for years to come". Keaton's fascination with music surfaced early. Singing since he could talk and picking up Beethoven on the piano by ear while still in preschool, Keaton finally started his lifetime love affair with the guitar at age 12.

As a 17 year old out of high school, Keaton started thinking about college. He decided on The Evergreen State College, located in Olympia, Washington. The area, which has become known as a fertile breeding ground for music and art, proved perfect to set in motion his initiation into the immense world of music. It was there that Keaton started writing songs. He dove in headfirst, taking on courses ranging from 20th century classical composition to Indonesian gamelan music to jazz and quite a lot in between. Keaton's years at Evergreen not only introduced him to diverse global music but also taught him to incorporate everything into his own sensibilities. Major record labels have accused Keaton of being too diverse to contain.  less
