Home Is Where the Art Is: San Clemente Home Tour 2026

“Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” -William Morris, “The Beauty of Life,” 1880

My Art on the 2026 San Clemente Home Tour


Here’s a secret no one tells you about making art: you don’t always know where it goes once it leaves you. This year, I got to see mine featured on San Clemente Home Tour for the second time, and Mirador Presidio was one of the homes it landed in. First up: “Cloud Study Two,” above, a cloud that finally got to come inside. It’s moody, a little dramatic, and somehow still peaceful, a reminder that the weather never stops anyone from flying.

Some offices just have a window. This one also has the San Clemente Pier. Printed in soft, nostalgic tones and framed in real wood and glass, it’s big enough to wander into on a slow afternoon. Not a bad view for answering emails.

One picture was never going to be enough for Point Lobos. This piece is from my Two Truths collection, made by exposing a single frame of film twice. Two moments, one inside the other. Perfect for a bedroom, where dreams blur things anyway.

Bathrooms are where we’re most honest. No filter, just us and the mirror. So it makes sense to hang San Clemente at its most honest too: unapologetically big and beautiful. A place to stand still for a minute and feel something real.

“The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention.”
-Francis Bacon

And then the moon rose over Joshua Tree, and I stood very still so I wouldn’t miss it. That’s the quiet magic of this work: a moment I almost kept to myself, shared.

Thank you to everyone who made the 2026 San Clemente Home Tour a reality. 


The work is laborious, but impactful. I didn’t set out to have my framed fine art photography on so many walls, but I’m so grateful I could help make these spaces meaningful and beautiful. Whether you’re an interior designer or just someone who misses a certain stretch of coast, my nostalgic California photography and framed giclée prints are made for walls like these, from San Clemente to San Diego and all along the coast. More posts are coming soon, with stories of other homes and the art that adorned them.


Thanks for being here, friends.
