The row at 710 to 720 Steiner Street, facing Alamo Square Park in San Francisco. Seven Queen Anne houses built between 1892 and 1896 by the developer Matthew Kavanaugh, painted in three or more colours to bring out the trim, the brackets, the bargeboard. The term Painted Ladies was coined in 1978 by Elizabeth Pomada and Michael Larsen for a movement that had begun in the early 1960s, when a few owners pulled the wartime grey off their houses and reached for hardware-store colours. The downtown skyline rises behind the gables. Most days a few visitors sit on the lawn at Alamo Square and the row works as it has for more than a century.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
