These pieces showcase San Francisco's energy and love.
The following long vertical pieces feature billboard scraps from San Francisco, Italy, Paris and Belgium.
These next pieces were really fun to make. Layers of vintage paper, sewing patterns, white paint. I handwrote the lyrics to Depech Mode's Somebody, and ripped them up and glued them on. Then I invented some flowers, and added vintage romance comic images. Some of them are quite cheeky!
Working slightly larger in this recent group of work. It allows me to get more larger paper and images on the boards.
These paintings contain deeply layered backgrounds with images from kid's picture books combined with ransom note messages cut from vintage magazines. Just a bit of whimsy. The series is entitle Pls Leave A Msg because the first layer of papers includes phone book pages and old phone message duplicates.
These two pieces incorporate wrapping paper and billboard scraps from San Francisco, Rome and Paris.
The following pieces are layer upon layer of paint and paper. There are at least two completed paintings underneath, maybe more! Nothing was satisfying. Then I bought a huge pile of Barbie and Needlework magazines, found some amazing cream textured paper and the ideas just flowed!
2023
These pieces are a mixture of graffiti and paste up style images on a paper and paint brick wall. My goal was story telling using an urban art vibe .
The following pieces are inspired by ads taken from an 1897 San Jose Mercury newspaper as well as vintage Popular Mechanics ads. I experimented with brick walls as a background element.
These pieces incorporate billboard scraps from Highway 101 in San Francisco just as the 101 turns toward the Golden Gate Bridge. Hence the name of the series, GGB.
The following pieces incorporate 1950s slang as well as images from vintage books and magazines.
