"I live in a San Luis Obispo, California. I live right downtown and can walk everywhere. Such a great way to live. I can be a hermit and hide out in my studio, or chat with friends at the coffee shop just a few blocks away.

As far as subject matter, what interests me most right now is the parts of California that are disappearing. Bungalow courts demolished, water tanks torn down, even the cottage down the street won’t be the same when it’s been scrubbed clean and redecorated. And good classic things, like a beloved vintage bike or a favorite pair of sneakers. I worry that all of the things that have been used and loved and lived in are going away.

........So I paint them."
