Happy Day, Friends! I found out a few days ago that my koi pond artwork will be featured on a utility box in downtown Manhattan Beach! This is my second piece of public art (see video of the first here), and I can't wait to see it installed. I will post an update when it is in place. In the meantime, you can check out the sample layout below that I initially submitted to the city. This layout combines my two koi pond paintings--"Koi Pond" and "Serenity Pond"--into one piece t

Happy news, friends! I'm beyond pleased to announce that my submission for a recent public art project in the City of Redondo Beach has been selected! Huge thanks to the Public Art Commission for choosing my design to be installed on a city-owned utility box on the corner of Torrance Boulevard and Catalina. Admirably, the Public Art Commission has dedicated funding from the John Parsons Fund for the beautification of several of these (often unsightly!) utility boxes throughou

April 22nd had to be in the Top 10 Most Beautiful Days, and I was lucky enough to enjoy it at Wayfarer's Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes. With panoramic ocean/hillside views and a Frank Lloyd Wright glass chapel in view, I soaked in the sun while manning my booth at the Art by the Sea event. Fine artists, crafters, and other vendors set up shop for the day atop the grassy hillside. What a wonderful experience! Thank you, Wayfarer's Chapel, for having us! Looking forward to this

Swing by Becker Surfboards in Hermosa Beach where it is currently on display. The top (shown above) I kept a simple design featuring our California state fish, the garibaldi. The underside features a mermaid of my own imagination, gazing upward from the depths. So if you're out shopping in Southbay, pop by Bec

"Laule'a Nalu" (Happy/Peaceful Surf) I'm so pleased to present my latest custom piece, "Laule'a Nalu!" I've been working on this one for a while, as it is a large piece, so it feels absolutely amazing to be able to finally show it off to all of you. This piece is pretty massive: 74x30", and it acrylic on wood. I love stretching myself to paint new things, and was thrilled to have the opportunity to make this triptych which was, believe it or not, the first I've done. Just as

The Fiesta Hermosa was three days of fun, with high 80s heat and thousands of people walking through downtown Hermosa Beach. Thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth! I had a great time chatting with those of you who introduced yourselves, and I'd like to thank those of you who purchased art, prints, or notecards from me. And now, the winner of the free giclee print is... Trent Hoffman! Congratulations! I'd also like to give a HUGE thanks to the following people who were a
