Pacifica is inspired by the face of the statue of Pacifica, of the Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939. Pacifica was an 80 footer built by Ralph Stackpole, that stood at Treasure Island and was demolished after the fair ended. She was monumental; a spectacular statue, almost life-like, as if welcoming guests at the fair! She was and continues to be an iconic figure and it is hoped one day to have her re-built and back at the Island.

This drawing forms part of the ongoing series of Pacifica, standing at her court at the Treasure Island fair. She's patriotic and strong, symbolizing hope and peace. It was first exhibited at the Tenderloin Museum for "Shelter in Place" group show, October to December 31st, 2020.
