Cow Palace Teen Spirit

I never thought I would be the type to pine for 1991. Things haven't been the same for me since as a girl, I saw Nirvana play San Francisco's Cow Palace on New Years Eve. I am always trying to recreate the motion of the crowd that night.

Bioluminescent Algae

 Last September in Southern California the red tide was blowing peoples minds. Tiny bioluminescent algae lit up the waves at night. The glowing surf has provided me with a point of origin for new work, coming soon. The way that the organisms glow when agitated is awesome. Check out this surfer agitating some algae:

Departure

I have always been interested in small bits flying .

The tradition of a string connecting a person standing on a dock with a person departing on a ship until it pulls from both of their hands is an idea I will continue to spend time with.

Blizzard in the Studio

The painting above is called Switchback and it no longer exists. A big blizzard came to the mountain and this is now the  current state of the same canvas. It is currently called Drift:

In Progress,  the color is not true in this photo.  I like the photo below of  the blizzard of 1888 and the fallen cables on Wall Street.
