With the inauguration a couple days away, the bad news will only continue to flood in. That said, here we are." I've rented a physical space in the Hillcrest neighborhood of San Diego to share my artwork with my community in person. "Estate Sale" is the title of my exhibit, opening February 7 from 5–10 p.m. at 829 Washington St. This space also features a large mural I recently painted, and I’ll be displaying many new works exploring the growing disparity in our lives. - Beverages and tunes will be provided to ease your social anxiety. Come see what I’ve been working on, and let’s have a conversation in real life.

This watercolor class is about understanding the color, organization, and beauty of flowers. They can be so inspiring from which to paint! We will paint from real flowers as well as from photos, since some flowers do not last long when picked or they aren’t available. To capture their beauty, we will experiment with a variety of techniques and approaches. I encourage you to watch the demonstrations and then explore your own way of putting brush to paper. Please bring tube paints only and not paint pans. Be prepared to paint on the first day.
