Surrounded by artists and activists in San Francisco’s Mission district, I create conceptual, mixed-media artwork. I combine classical fresco techniques and contemporary abstraction to create “Modern Frescos”. Despite the many layers and textured appearance, the surface of each artwork is smooth and highly polished. As light reflects off the surface, the artwork changes. Music is a crucial element to my work. As a classically trained pianist, I consider my frescos visual pieces of music. Just as music is composed of vibrations of sound, my paintings are composed of vibrations of light.

Fresco Medium

By definition, fresco is a technique of painting executed upon freshly laid lime based plaster. Lime compatible pigments merge with the plaster becoming an integral part of the surface. The fresco technique has been used since antiquity.

Structure: fresco paintings are created on museum approved wood panels with cradled edge.
Fresco Medium: water, lime putty, crushed marble, mineral pigments
Application: trowels, brushes, carving tools
