About the Artist

 

In 2020, the de Young museum’s 125th anniversary, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco hosted The de Young Open, a juried community art exhibition of submissions by artists who live in the nine Bay Area counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma. The de Young filled the 12,000-square-foot Herbst Exhibition Galleries with 877 artworks by 762 Bay Area artists in The de Young Open. 6,188 artists submitted 11,514 artworks for the show.

 

I was one of the artists included in the show and my piece, “The Good Life”, was featured in the edited video above. Mr. Burgard gives a very good interpretation of my painting. I would have added that my painting was also inspired by the global climate crisis. To see the whole video, go to the link below.
