What the work comes from

Milwaukee roots

San Francisco streets

Living and working in San Francisco. Found objects from walks around the city, from candy wrappers to tree bark, and the postcard collages of Islands in the Stream: Tenderloin, Castro Street, Night Music.

Peace, faith and the planet

Paintings and collage about ecological, gender and other politics. “If we focus on peace will the war go away?” asks Blue View.
