Personal Mixed Media Art







These are photos of several pieces I did in a series of 12 large mixed media works, exploring texture, color, and different transferring methods. Looking back on the series I believe now I should have stuck with the abstract work rather than feeling pressured to include literal images of the people I was trying to represent.

Digital Photography Collaboration with Culinary Arts






 Here are a few select photos from a project where the digital photography teacher had her students come over and photograph my classes work. It was wonderful for students to be able to share these art forms together, and see how important photography is in the culinary industry, as well as what a great subject matter food can be to shoot. True cross collaboration within a department.

Elementary Students Ceramic Self Portraits




These are ceramic self portraits that were done by elementary school students at Hesperian Elementary School. We took their pieces and had them fired at a Berkeley ceramic studio so kids could keep these pieces forever.

Mural for Boys and Girls Club of San Leandro

My dear friend Caroline Kent and I where commissioned to paint these murals the summer of 2008 for the San Leandro Boys and Girls Club with the young members of this establishment ranging in age from 6 to 15. We had a blast painting with these kids three times a week for two months. It still can be seen when heading north on the BART through San Leandro.



Photoshop Student Graphic Design



This logo was created by a young lady named Carter her Senior year in my 2010 design lab class for a small learning community at Albany High School called Connect Academy. There was a competition that was held to see which student could come up with the strongest logo to be used by the academy. This is the logo that ended up winning.
