PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
Google Commission
Native Grandeur
I had the honor and pleasure of working with Google's design team and interior designer to create a custom commission for Google's new flagship office location in San Francisco at Two Rincon in the library dedicated to the theme, 'Biophilia'.
The larger than life blooms in 'Native Grandeur' depict native San Francisco wildflowers. It celebrates the natural beauty of the city. It invites the viewer to enter into a vibrant and uplifting botanical world where one can pause, reflect and come away feeling refreshed.
The Statue of Liberty was a welcome sight to immigrants as they arrived their new homeland. Welcoming, and promising freedom and a chance at a new beginning. Our country is a country of immigrants. How can we welcome all immigrants to help make America great?
America is a great nation with a storied past. The stained & soiled flag represents our current, tarnished collective unconscious. The bright 'AND' symbolizes hope for a return to one of our nation's founding principles, 'liberty & justice for all.'
Rather than sitting in despair, this painting represents the importance of staying optimistic & holding the vision that a kinder, more loving world is possible! Acrylic paint and rice paper on canvas | 36" x 48" | 2017
