The first half of 2026 has been one of those seasons where I looked up and realized a lot has happened, in the best way: hosting art gallery tours, art workshops, artists’ dinners, interviewed for a podcast, new collaborations, and a December community art show I can’t stop thinking about.
Here’s what I’ve been up to and what’s ahead:
🎙️ I was on a podcast with PE Pinkman talking about AI and Art, and it turned into a real conversation about my project AI Coffee. Strange, beautiful work that opened up more questions than it answered.
🎨 Gallery Tours: Hosting intimate small-group tours in downtown San Francisco has been one of my favorite things. Real conversations with gallerists, real connection with contemporary art.
🖌️ Art Workshops: Three coming up.
• Experimental Filmmaking: June 30, West Marin
• Bring Art Into Your Life: July 9, Mill Valley
• Seasonal Planning for Artists & Creatives: DM me to schedule
🍴 Artists’ Dinners: Three dinners across three seasons, including a Lunar New Year evening at Charity Cultural Services Center in Chinatown. Next up: a Pride dinner in the Castro.
🎨 LA Art Retreat: This October, I’m taking a group to the new galleries at LACMA and into the Southern California art community. DM me if you want early details.
🗺️ The Urbanist: Riso-printed art maps of SF and NYC launched earlier this year are now in stock at www.postscriptshop.com in the Fillmore. A collaboration I’m genuinely proud of.
📅 December Art Show: December 11–13, 2026. My second community show. A full weekend of art, music, and collective expression. Save the date!
