On the day of the event, I arrive early with everything I need — except the table. I paint live throughout the celebration, creating a calm, engaging atmosphere.
When guests stop by, I greet them and invite them to choose an artwork that speaks to them. Many stay to watch the process, share their San Francisco stories, and connect with me and other guests through art.
About a month before your event, I pre-paint 80-90% of the watercolor cards so guests can browse and take them anytime during the event.
Each piece is one-of-a-kind — I never repeat the views. Every painting is created from photos I’ve taken around the Bay Area or scenes that personally inspire me.
