The purpose of my Luminous Community Center public art project is to help people in fostering long lasting positive social and economic impact, prioritizing those in communities that have been historically marginalized and underfunded. In addition, the monumental scale luminous glass open air pavilion which both a work of public art and a living community center, will bring people together from across the social, political, race, gender identity, class, demographic and geographic divides which must be repaired so our culture can move forward, evolve, transcend perceived differences.

This image was going to be part of a larger photography project about the anonymity of the immigrant experience in this country. This was taken prior to the current ongoing violation of the immigrant communities here in the United States. I believe a discussion about our relationship with immigrant communities as a whole, their families and themselves is more vital now than ever.

The ultimate theme of this poem is unity. Each stanza discussing some of the barriers that prevent us from seeing the inherent union of all humanity.

The Napa Quake Mosaic was born from what was broken. After the 2014 Napa Earthquake, neighbors brought me boxes of shattered household items—objects that held their stories and memories. Over eleven years, nearly 2,000 volunteers helped transform this collective damage into a 400-square-foot mosaic installed on a retired railcar in Napa’s Rail Arts District.
This work is repair in its most expansive sense. We didn’t just mend objects; we tended to memory, community, and place through the creative process. Every fragment carries both rupture and resilience, and every hand that placed a piece helped stitch the community back together. The mosaic stands as a testament to how creativity can turn loss into something shared, beautiful, and enduring. At its core, it is an act of communal repair. I made it as a touchstone for locals but also something beautiful for new folks to stumble upon.

This depicts in a fanciful way the depth of the problem that exists on our planet.
That is to say, we have a link to off-world entities that observe us and attempt to control us.
