Philippa Renshaw is an Artist, Designer, Maker, based in San Francisco. She creates surface patterns by employing often undervalued printmaking and textiles processes.
Renshaw holds an MFA from San Francisco State University, USA, along with an MA in Design Futures and a BA in Textile Design both from Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK.
"Living in a neoliberal capitalist society, I mourn the loss of quality. In my work I illuminate the relevance of handcrafts in a technological world through in-depth exploration of materials and techniques to create surface patterns. Choosing to focus on the mundane pleasures that can be observed when we slow down and take in our physical surroundings, I look for joy in the chaos of daily life, operating between risk and certainty."

In my “Machines” series, I meld animals with machinery, playing mad scientist in a laboratory that should never really exist. . . are these just surreal visual experiments, or do they foretell a tragic, not-so-distant future?"

Rosa Lumina
Bas-Reliefs of SF Flash Sheet (2023)
Micron and ball point pen on coffee stained watercolor paper
13 x 19"
"I am a twenty-six year old tattoo artist from rural Northern California. I have been drawing and painting all my life, but what I love about tattooing is that it requires working with another human being to make it possible. With tattoos we get to live and breath with the art everyday."
"I take long walks through the city and started taking photos of the unique details on old San Francisco buildings. I love these ornate, yet everyday markings of the city, and wanted to make them into tattooable designs. Traditionally, flash sheets are laid out on hand stained watercolor paper so that is what I did. I would like to add in this auction piece the opportunity to get one of these designs tattooed by me. I work at Black and Blue Tattoo, a legacy tattoo shop in the Mission."

I walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library
Line up to the mind cemetery now
What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin'
They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells
Rally 'round the family, pockets full of shells"

Shady Clay
Daisy Vase (2024)
Colored porcelain
8 x 10”
"My upbringing around textile arts as well as having an engineer father led me to a career in apparel design. I love to build with my hands and cannot ignore my fascination with color and pattern. I recently found the technique of Nerikomi- colored clay and pattern work and fell deep into exploring the opportunities which ceramics and. colored porcelain in particular have to offer."
"This colorful clay vase I made is a bit of a mash-up of my family's quilting legacy and my career in apparel design. I've woven vibrant hues and intricate patterns into its curves, kind of like a quilt in 3D. Drawing on my fashion background, I've played with colors and designs to give it that extra pop and emotional vibe. Coloring the porcelain, creating pattern blocks which I then slice and form into a mold is a process at brings me great satisfaction and constant surprise."

Her work has been exhibited throughout the US and abroad and resides in many corporate collections several hundred private collections.
"The paintings in "Beauty and the Inner Beast" allude to Classical and Renaissance allegorical paintings (with their symbolic nudes and moral lessons), but outside the belief systems of the past, open to free association and thus more fitting for contemporary culture. They imagine a world of memories, dreams and reflections safe for and saved by the feminine virtues of sensitivity, empathy and compassion."
