Heroes & Hearts

It was a great honor to participate in Hearts in SF and to have the opportunity to create one of the large iconic hearts that can be seen across San Francisco. The program, which benefits the Zuckerberg SF General Hospital Foundation culminates in the annual Heroes & Hearts luncheon, which took place on February 15th at AT&T Park. Below are a number of photos from the event. I also invite you to view the collection that inspired my SF Heart.

The Heart Goes On

Hearts in SF benefits the SF General Hospital Foundation. My heart along with others created recently by Bay Area artists will be revealed at an event at AT&T Park in February of 2018. It was an honor to have been selected twice to create one of these iconic hearts, and I'm so thrilled with how it turned out. I also recently learned that my heart has been featured on the cover of the February issue of WHERE Magazine!

I am truly honored to have been asked again to create one of these iconic SF Hearts.

Below is the design I submitted for consideration, which is inspired by my original mixed media and resin work.
