We had such a fantastic artists’ dinner at Ruth’s Table!
It was a memorable evening at Ruth’s Table for our fall Artists’ Dinner bringing together San Francisco’s vibrant artist community. Grateful for the creativity, connection, and support that filled the room. 🌟🎨 #ArtistsSupportingArtists #SanFranciscoArt #RuthsTable
Thanks to Diane and Kate for leading a fun AI playground workshop.
I’m using AI tools to create new products and services.
For my art practice:
For my small business, The Urbanist.
Tool or Tools utilized: Figma Make, Twillio, Terminal, Python, Flask, Claude, Chat GPT.
What worked well: Figma make went very well for generating a prototype. Setting up an account and verifying phone numbers on Twillio was easy.
What didn’t: Getting python running on terminal was tricky, I’m new to coding so learning a lot asking Chat GPT how to get it to work
Next steps: Prototyping and coding this so it actually works with a phone number ported to Twillio.

The summer artists’ dinner I hosted was filled with creativity, laughter, and meaningful connections. I am grateful to the local artist community and everyone who joined us and contributed their artistic talents to the event. I am already excited about the ideas we have for our next gathering.
Inspired by sketching and photographing the Fontana delle Tartarughe water fountain contraposto posture of the bronze figures at Huntington Park at Nob Hill in San Francisco, I used an analog and digtial printmaking process to create art wallpaper. Commission to install this wallpaper at The Birdcage coffee shop in Lower Nob Hill, San Francisco.
The orginal fountain, Fontana delle Tartarughe is in Rome, Italy.
The fountain in Huntington park is a copy.
For Walking, 2025, acrylic on canvas, 11” x 14” x 1” Work in progress.
Howdy Cowboy. A western painting series that I’m currently working on. This work challenges traditional masculine stereotypes by reinterpreting cowboy imagery to critique conventional idealized narratives. I found myself needing to explore a personal conflict, being attracted to cowboys but also not wanting to further patriarchal symbolism.
I’m proud to have two works in the art show at the State of California building.
Chinatown, 2020 printed 2025, digital photography, 10.5” x 8.5” x 1.5”
Lake Merritt, 2020 printed 2025, digital photography, 10.5” x 8.5” x 1.5”
Holiday card for December 2024. Wishing you peace and joy this holiday season. May the new year inspire your creativity and fill your days with love and connection!
Forest Bathing: Queer Portraits in Nature: AJ
2024, 22 x 33 x 1.5”, Digital Photography, Nate Mahoney
This series documents queer people exploring and being rejuvenated by forest bathing in nature. The collaboration with queer subjects across the spectrum of LGBTQIA+ includes video interviews and still photographs to share that sense of calm with our community. The goal is to capture a human-centered portrait in nature and bring back that green natural environment to the gallery space. There is an open call to be photographed for this ongoing project.
