ABOUT THE ARTWORK
My work using words comes from a personal response to the ugliness following the US elections of November 2016. The first piece used the word PEACE in many languages in hopes of peace in every land. Later works use the words JUSTICE, EQUALITY, and FRAGILE (among others) as starting points. The completed works are meditations on the concept of each word, and thus each piece is distinct in character. Two of these pieces were commissioned as public murals by Ruth’s Table, a community art center in San Francisco's Mission District continuing Ruth Asawa’s legacy of participatory art. Text in English, Swahili, Chinese, German, Hindi, Uyghur, Polish, Indonesian, Japanese, Zulu, Russian, and Spanish.

United States
A native of San Antonio, I recently lived in San Francisco for 18 years and previously lived in New York and Paris. I am deeply committed to city culture both today and through the centuries, especially through the lenses of architecture, music, literature, history, and of course, art. While I appreciate abstraction and distilling to essences, I am more excited by the richness of complex layering and simultaneous meanings.
