Vintage motels and old beach cottages. Liquor stores and a boardwalk amusement park. The ocean! Tall palm trees swaying amidst power lines that look like line drawings in the sky.. Santa Cruz embodies a certain fantasy of the ideal California beach town. Sunny on the surface with some grit and lots of history underneath. I find the mundane locations as interesting and eye-catching as the coastal scenery. It all fascinates.
San Francisco - iconic and picturesque. Images abound: the hills, the bridges, the architecture. Less conventional "beauty" everywhere..
My prints and paintings of Santa Cruz and San Francisco aspire to reflect the appeal of these places. I appreciate their many sides and feel lucky to call them home for the past 30+ years.

I first learned to screen print in the early 1980's and have explored many types of serigraphy over the last 40 years. My favorite is the reduction screen print. Not familiar with this method of screen printing? Allow me to introduce you: Printing Divine.
