Cedar Street Gallery is a street-level art gallery on the corner of Shattuck and Cedar in the heart of the Gourmet Ghetto in Berkeley, CA. We hope to support artists, engage the public, spark curiosity, beautify the street and show some really cool art.

Artist Statement:
I am inspired by the architecture of flowers, trees and spider webs. I admire their lightweight strength. I work thin steel until it has an organic fluidity. I want people to look at fragility with respect and reverence and see that our world is a delicate balance. Using less material, I fold, bend, grind, and weld the forms seeking gesture and strength. I ask the viewer to see the power of flexibility and impermanence.
