"All the World's a Designer Showcase..."

May 2003

The more theatrical aspects of this year's San Francisco Decorator Showcase are discussed by Carol Lloyd in the San Francisco Chronicle.

For this showcase I designed the Lift, more than just a personal elevator, this carriage was custom built to my specifications of solid cherry, and its raised mouldings parcel gilt in 23 karat gold. I painted three large scale portraits of eyes to add a surreal element. People entering the lift are either rapt or disquieted.

Featured in the video are "Vera has a Martini" and "Maxi-Max" in progress, during the time I was using my living room as a studio.

"Modern and Minimal"
The March, 2001 issue of the Nob Hill Gazette has a large photo spread by R. Bengston on the home of Ellen Broadhurst and featuring the giant mural I painted for her of Vermeer's Girl With a Pearl Earring.
Ellen also commissioned the Lacemaker from me for another house. She almost as big a fan of Vermeer as I am!
