Inspired by the times we live in, I am exploring our relationship with ‘archaic objects’ in this age of technology and intention. Manual typewriters and adding machines. Hand tools. The beauty of their design and their physical weight captivate me. I feel the souls of those that have held them.

Opening and corralling bookshops in San Francisco since 1985, I have had the opportunity to interact with many, many people. I have been inspired, dismayed, and eventually star-struck by the potential of the human spirit.

Life size portraits of animals are my form of cave painting. They thrill me.
