I am the Director of BAYFig, an organization that honors the legacy of Bay Area Figurative art.
You'll find a playlist of videos—including mini-documentaries and lectures—on topics related to Bay Area art.
Another playlist, "Monday Morning Modernism" consists of a set of 15 videos — each roughly 40 minutes long — that introduce the history of modern art and some of its key artists and movements.
My writing has appeared in Art Ltd., The HuffingtonPost, Hyperallergic, Arts of Asia, and other fine publications. My book "Disrupted Realism: Paintings for a Distracted World" features the works of 38 contemporary artists who add subjectivity and disruption to their imagery. A sequel, "More Disruption: Representation in Flux" was released in mid 2023.
