Some of My Paintings and Drawings

One of the things that I'm hoping I can do is to sell my work for a price that I would be willing to pay for. Lately I've been dropping the galleries that I work with and I did have some long-term established relationships, so that I don't have to raise my prices and I can put them all at prices on the Internet  that you are I could afford. Here's a selection of some of the stuff;

Move City College Forward - Sign Our Petition Letter Please sign our petition letter to Mayor Ed Lee, California Community Colleges Chancellor Brice Harris, and CCSF Special Trustee Robert Agrella to keep City College open and move it forward. City College of San Francisco is the only viable option for tens of thousands of residents to access equal educational opportunities, and its survival is among the most pressing civil rights issues facing our community. It is simply too important to San Francisco and the Bay Area to be allowed to close. Sign the petition. 2. Art Classes at CCSF are still available! Do you like art? Do you want to help preserve affordable, quality art classes here in SF? CCSF has been under attack BUT WE'RE STILL OPEN AND FULLY ACCREDITED. However, enrollment has gone down and many classes are in danger of disappearing. Please enroll in the classes listed below. If you can't, help spread the word. If these classes get cancelled, they might become permanently cut, therefore shrinking the dept. into extinction. More information here.     ARTSPAN IS A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION
