For eight years I have painted San Francisco one frame at a time, in the American realist tradition, fog and dusk and wet pavement. These paintings refuse the single frame because they are also refusing the single date. None of it fits into one view, and that is the point. A rich city is what these canvases look like: lives, cultures and memories stacked on top of each other, half of them from somewhere else, from some other time.

My mural practice sits between landscape painting, public space, and long term use. I approach each project with an understanding of scale, surface, environment, and people. Some projects I lead from concept to final coat. Others I contribute to as part of a larger team. Both are essential to how I work. This page brings together completed mural projects across corporate, neighborhood, restaurant, and residential settings. Lead Artist Projects Meta Open Arts Artist Residency Fremont, CA |...
