A moveable salon
I have led a wonderfully textured life surrounded by artists. In 1989, I moved to San Francisco, and lived on Mason Street in the middle of a three flat building on the streetcar line. I could see the bay on a nonfoggy day and the roof was perfect for watching the fireworks show when the barges rolled out in the water for Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve.
It was a wonderful time – pre dot.com – still funky, still brilliant. It was the middle of a five year drought where I rarely saw rain. Above me, lived two amazing artists – Randall Sexton and Kim Frohsin. Randy painted in the basement of the building.
I was lucky enough to get to know them as friends, to buy their work, to watch them grow. Time has passed, sadly Randall died a few years ago.
Kim, however, continues to be a rockstar artist and has a new website. I can’t tell you how happy I am to see her thriving. Her work has always been soulful and magical.
