Pattern Pulp

24hrs in San Francisco

I’m back from the west coast and sharing a little treat I happened upon during my 24 hours in San Francisco. My friend Michelle, from Art.com passed along a hefty list with enough exhibitions to keep me going for a week. I opted for the closest/biggest gallery to my hotel and ended up at SF MoMA.

I finally got to see The Clock by Christian Marclay, which was as captivating and impressive as everyone says it is, perused Garry Winogrand’s photo retrospective, and ogled at enough student legs to make me want to place an order at BlackMilk. I eventually made my way up to the rooftop garden to sample this little Mondrian delight. I also got to visit Makeshift Society – a coworking collaborative in Hayes Valley, where I met my friend Janette. The space is bright, beautiful and carefully curated- you can tell it’s made with love and the energy of the creative community. If I’d stayed longer, I would have brought my laptop and set up shop.

P.S. That’s Lisa Congdon’s wallpaper behind us!

Twitter Influencer: Lisa Congdon




Lisa Congdon was always creative growing up, but didn’t start painting until she was 33. Three years ago, she left a career as a leader in the education nonprofit world to pursue a long-held desire to live a full-time creative life.

Painting and illustration has since become a significant part of that life, along with co-owning and curating her store and art gallery, Rare Device. Lisa also eagerly dives into creative adventures, such as her popular Collection A Day 2010 Project, among a long list of other endeavors. Her kind and jovial nature shines though as she shares her creative life and adventures through her twitter feed, allowing her many followers a glimpse into the life behind the artist.
