Holiday gifts, home decor, mental health boost: Original art enlivens a home!

I'd love to spend a few minutes in deep looking and conversation with you.
In addition to large pieces, I have Inspiring small landscapes, tiny paintings of my birds, digital prints, or note card collections ready to take home.
Or brainstorm a commission!

Studio is 1 Block north of Solano at Peralta. Look for signs.

Larger pieces on view to pique your interest, possibly in a commission. I’m looking forward to having the discussions that come with deep looking together.
