It’s happening!

Tomorrow is our VIP opening from 1 PM to 8 PM. Then all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Future Fair — New York
May 13–16, 2026
Chelsea Industrial
535 W 28th St, New York, NY

I’m exhibiting as part of ABC x Startup, a collaborative presentation with @katfilice through Artfully Branded Curatorial and Startup Projects.

Together, our work explores how layered materials accumulate memory, time, and traces of experience—my assemblages drawing from fragments of visual culture and art history alongside Kat’s forest-gathered, process-driven surfaces.

Come see us in Booth T4. Find a link for tix in bio.

I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by the absolute legend of SF radio, John Rothmann 🎙️30 years at KGO.

We spoke just after my conversation with @demetribroxton at @theclift hotel, where we looked at how the Bay Area art scene has changed over the last 40 years—and why I still have real faith in its resiliency.

John was especially interested in the idea of pop-ups as a path forward for independent artists, galleries, and collectives.

@startupartfair is exactly that: the ultimate pop-up for artists.
No waiting for permission. No waiting to be called.
Run by artists, for artists.

Applications for the SF fair are open for just a few more days.

Friends and fellow artists: choose you.

Application link in bio + link to the talk.

I’ve been part of the Bay Area art world for a long time—long enough to see it reinvent itself more than once.

This Thursday at 6pm, I’ll be sitting down with Demetri Broxton (Executive Director of Root Division) to talk about what’s changed over the last 40 years—and what hasn’t.

From the rise (and loss) of artist-run spaces, to shifting institutions, to how artists are building community and sustaining careers today—it should be a really meaningful conversation across generations.

Our talk, “Bay Area Art: 40 Years of Change” is part of their “Making History Fun Again” speaker series at the Clift Hotel, 495 Geary St, SF

📍 Redwood Room, Cliff Hotel, San Francisco
🎟 Free + open to the public
(RSVP required—link in bio)

Hope you can join us!
