About The Artist

Artist Statement

I am an artist, writer and elementary school art teacher with the San Francisco Unified School District. I primarily paint urban street scenes of my favorite local San Francisco and Marin neighborhoods, often including the local dogs. I am working on a painting series entitled “All The Best Dog Walks End With Coffee”, where I have had a great time painting my favorite local cafes and the dogs who enjoy their whipped cream.
