I spent much of this weekend helping to paint a giant mural on a new building at the corner of Cesar Chavez and Mission Street. I did it as volunteer work for Precita Eyes, a San Francisco community mural arts organization that has been such a strong presence in the Mission District for so long [...]

Here is a nursery mural I did last month for a baby boy due around Christmas. I just got pictures of the room with all the furniture in place. It turned out so great, a perfect room for one lucky little boy. And here is a rocket ship growth chart I also painted for the [...]

Last weekend I had the opportunity to paint a wall in a gorgeous ranch style house in Tiburon. The design was a long time in the making, starting with my client’s desire for a beautiful cherry blossom tree. We worked together to get just the right tree to fit the funky space in the living [...]

I went to see the Sendak show at the Contemporary Jewish Museum the other day. I had to whiz through because I was also there for a Litquake event, and I had Little Man with me (his first art exhibition! – this kid will be so much more cultured than I ever was). As a [...]

Over the weekend, I painted this 89 square foot mural in a 2 year old boy’s bedroom. His favorite book is “The Little Engine That Could”, so they wanted something based on Loren Long’s illustrations. They also said he loves animals, so I took different elements from the book, and added the cows in the [...]

I just painted my friend’s nursery. She wanted silhouettes of birds and to tie in the pattern and colors of the carpet. She won’t see it until she gets back after the new year. Can’t wait to see her reaction, and to see the room with all the furniture in place!

I’ve been foregoing other creative ventures lately because I’ve been so excited about this baby coming (I’m 9 weeks along). I got the itch to paint a mural in the baby room, and banged it out in a weekend. A forest scene from Where the Wild Things Are, one of my favorite children’s books. I [...]
