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”.
Foster lives in Lodi California with his beautiful wife and kids.
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.
myself, and
nothing else is, I
am alone, and it
scares me.
I never really
experience myself
as I really am
because I am
always becoming
what the future
has for told for me.
As soon as I think I
have it figured out
I have already
changed to some
one I don't really
know all that well."
-David Jon Foster
1981
