David Jon Foster- Abstract Artist

In the winter of 2003/2004 life changing events were a catalyst for David Jon Foster's deep exploration into the world of art and his own mind. Foster is a true outsider to the mainstream art world and is self taught. His style and techniques are all his own. Even his medium "watercolor on canvas" is a rarity in the art world. Foster copies no one and as a true abstractionist doesn't have a clue as to what the paintings will look like until finished.

Foster's passion and exploration lead him to the world of creative writing, short stories and poetry. His first book "The Writing of David Jon Foster" was published in the Summer of 2008.

During this same period, Foster was involved in the Smooth Jazz music scene and while primarily using his photography to document his art collection, began experimenting with music photography. He has been lucky enough to work with some of the greatest musicians in Smooth Jazz.

“abstract art and creative writing” he says “gives me the extreme freedom I need to express feelings in my mind but I am not always in control” “I’m trying to get away from the darker undertones some of my work might portray but sometimes it seams as if my hand paints and writes all by itself” “I don’t really understand it but It's what I do”.

David lives in Lodi California with his beautiful wife and kids. A short drive from his home, the David Jon Foster - Studio Gallery is located in the heart of Lodi Appellation wine country on the second floor of the PASOS VINEYARDS Winery.
