Decorative

These are murals directly inspired by their visual surroundings, and outside of my more typical recurring theme.

 

Petal Vortex

Mural done with natural mineral pigments on an antique house, home of a community whose spirit is interpretively depicted with this orbit of petals.

Pedicularis densiflora, indian warrior

This native wildflower, a natural herbal remedy to treat anxiety, is reaching for color in these trying times, here in occupied Yelamu Ohlone territory.

Limonium

A  Californian marsh rosemary, warbling the rectilinearity of the San José Convention Center.

Merogusto

A tribute to the culinary universe of chef Meret Bissegger: a focus on the rich complexity of common vegetables, and the featuring of unconventional edible plants, sometimes called weeds.

The Botanical Mural

This was my first public mural in San Francisco that featured plants only, some of which were found growing in the cracks of the sidewalk directly in front of the wall. It is the mural that spawned my WEEDS project.

Yellows from the Bay marshes

A composition of yellows from the San Francisco Bay's salt marshes, the ever-closer shores nearby.

Stream of Life

A stream of water in the forest, a stream of people in the city. Both are key to the vitality of their respective environments. Private commission for a prominent workers' rights and environmental activist.

Pedal Revolution

Pedal Revolution! Tossing petals on our path.. . A celebration of this wonderful bike shop in San Francisco's Mission District, which, in partnership with the nonprofit organization New Door, offers training and employment to local youth.
