This painting (16×20) is based on a photograph I took in the Presidio. It is a hand-drawn, hand-painted reconstruction of that scene. I was interested in how the trees act as a natural frame, creating a strong foreground of silhouettes that partially obscures the calm Golden Gate Bridge, surrounded by fog.

I completed the piece using the painting system I designed. This work reflects a landscape that was part of my everyday environment while attending The Bay School. It’s a place where our community would come to practice mindfulness. It’s also where I learned how to run for the first time.
