Last Friday February 25th was the Opening Reception for Art on First in Napa. Twenty artist from Napa and other places form the Bay Area created art installations that will be on display for eight months along Downtown Napa's up-and-coming First Street.

| Wall Intervention #4. Charcoal, fabric and wire. |
Wall Intervention # 4 is inspired by my fascination with patterns both from nature and the industrial world. This large-scale wall installation is profoundly influenced by its architectural space that is reinterpreted by drawing, painting, and adding sculptural elements directly on the wall. Unlike traditional murals, these Wall Interventions challenge some of the spatial boundaries of art. I am interested in art's relationship with the architecture around us, and I am powerfully moved by art's capacity to transform an urban environment. This work has an element of whimsy to it, playfully engaging with the space and creating a sense of wonder.
