John Pace (American, 1930-2006) was an artist from California, known for paintings of Western scenes and Native Americans.
Christal Pace had this to say about her Grandfather: "My Grandfather John Pace was a distinguished, passionate man with a variety of skills. My dad and Uncle Nick are both great artists, but Grandfather ran the show. My Grandfather was incredibley charismatic and smart. The Grand-father, as we call him, dabled in many things throughout his life. He served in the war, drove racecars, had a knack for gambling, poker and black jack, and painted occasionally.
His first wife was Native American, my dad's mom. She passed when my dad was only 14. When my dad met my mom he was excited to learn she too was California Indian (Pitt-River Tribe). So, he introduced her to John right away. She later admitted that she was more taken with John than my dad! She says he was not only handsome but full of character. When he passed he said, "Ah, yes. I think I'll die now." That's how he was. He was ready for anything. His life was full and he was truly anticipating the next phase in his journey. The last time I talked to him, he sounded just like that. Very put together, never sweating the small stuff. He sounded at least 20 years younger than he actually was. As far as his work, it lives on through us. On our walls and above our fireplaces. His spirit travels still in those paintings."

- Woman, Dog & Spring Flowers, Large Scale Figurative Abstract with PetroglyphsBy Cindy KaneLocated in Soquel, CAWoman, Dog & Spring Flowers, Large Scale Figurative Abstract with Petroglyphs by Cindy Kane Absolutely stunning large scale abstract expressionist painting titled "Bending Forward," by San Francisco and now Martha's Vineyard artist Cindy Kane (American, b. 1957). This unique monumental piece, created in 1987, has a netherworld primal quality depicting a petroglyph-like blonde woman and her animal spirit dog bending toward a flower-strewn earth. Additional petroglyph vignettes add mystery to narrative. Signed and dated "Kane '87" upper right. Unframed. Image size: 66.5"H x 84"W. Her early works were influenced by her memories of these hieroglyphs, and embellished with symbols from her dreams. “I hope [that viewers] get what I get from my work, which is enjoyment, visual satisfaction, and a story — whatever their own story is,” she said. “I can’t give them one, but I can tell my own, and the story they take with them is something personal.” Her early work was influenced by the experience of living and working at the bottom of the Grand Canyon National Park, where she had the opportunity to document Anasazi Indian pictographs in pen and ink drawings. These images would inform her work for years to come. While working in Grand Canyon National Park, she became familiar with the Anasazi Indian ruins...Category
