At the end of 2020 I was commissioned by Kevin Barry Art Advisory to create a piece for ‘a restaurant in Napa.’ I didn’t ask which one, so you can imagine my surprise when I recently learned that my work was part of an art package for the Four Seasons Napa Valley.
The concept was to depict the route of the Oat Hill Mine Trail in the style of my previous work, with a significant difference being that the leather would be sewn into canvas as opposed to tacked directly into the wall and finalized on site.
While this allows me the opportunity to create pieces for destinations far and wide, it also means that the last time I saw the piece, it was in my studio—and as I review the images, it looks like I didn’t even take one of the fully finished version.
