28 years ago I moved to the Outer Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco, a location that has come to define and expand my output as an artist. The proximity to the rigors of the edge of the Pacific Ocean takes hold of my interior perspective, and what has manifested is a cross-pollination of creative practices. The fog, land, sea, and air inspire...elucidate, really...my ceramic sculpture and pottery, paintings, and drawings. My studio, a deliberately half-finished celebration of physical process, is a reminder that the journey is often more relevant than the destination. That self-determined cultural and political focus gave birth to a three story mural in 2020 inspired by the Green New Deal. I also co-steward of the Far Out West Community Garden and I am founder and co-curator of the Far Out West Community Outdoor Film Series.
