Downtown San Mateo Association Artist in Residence and Public Art Initiative

As a result of my yarnbomb work in the area, the Downtown San Mateo Association appointed me Artist in Residence in June 2013. Follow our work here.

My role is to bring more community-based public art to the downtown area. Our goal is to instill a sense of ownership of local creative arts in the community by involving the public in various aspects of installations, from funding to fabrication. We focus on giving visibility to the art and artists that already exist in the area.

If you’re a sponsor, community group, artist, individual or just curious, please contact me.
