Visual Art – San Francisco

I\'m a San Francisco based artist. Starting as a sculptor at UCSC, my more recent collection includes abstract and mixed media painting rather than sculpture, rich with color and texture. Many of my pieces include found objects, bringing attention to life’s commonly overlooked items. There are so many interesting and colorful things people ignore or see as waste. I like the idea of reuse and bringing meaning to the objects, or making the objects more interesting to look at. If the public doesn’t get the concept at first, or ever, at least they have something interesting or fun to look at. Images or deeper concepts begin to appear the longer you look and examine a lot of my work. Sometimes it’s an intentional hidden image or message and other times it’s an abstract shape that just reminds you of something in life. Like clouds forming in the sky. Music, emotion, and environment also inspire and highly influence my work.
