I am very excited to participate in the Board Art Benefit Show since it involves helping people, painting and surfing. When I was asked which shaper I would like to partner up with, Danny Hess Hesssurfboards.com, immediately came to mind. The surfboards he crafts are absolutely beautiful, I think it is very profound that all the materials are environmentally friendly as well.

The
surfboard design integrates performance, strength and is constructed of
sustainable and recyclable materials. I am honored to be partnering up
with Danny. When we were discussing the project, we both were really
excited to create not only a board that is aesthetically visually pleasing, but
is also fully functional and will perform well in the ocean for its lifespan. It's also a work of art that can be hung on a wall.
The
painting depicts an epic day
in November '09 in San Francisco. This image best describes my
memories of riding my bicycle down to the beach to surf, as well as one
of epic days SF surfers all anticipate. It is painted with several thin translucent acrylic paint layers and
the last layer is an opaque layer of water soluble oil paint. It is a
view looking out to the ocean over the San Francisco's Sunset
neighborhood. The painting is turning point in
my artwork, it blends the city and ocean together. This subject will be
very relevant in my upcoming solo show since I have decided it is time
to move forward with my wave paintings. More to come soon...
