Note I'm no longer booking gigs for professional bubbling. Other bubblers in the area to try are Sterling Johnson or Hernan Cortez. They're both wonderful bubblers and I have learned a lot from both of them. If you're not able to find a bubbler, I also recommend checking out Sandra at Sandra & Friends—she books many different kinds of entertainers and is a superbly talented face painter herself.
To make a bubble is to send up a prayer. A homage to impermanence, they are a kind of divination in that they reveal the unseen around them.
Some bubblers try to make the biggest bubbles in the world. Some bubblers move us forward by investigating the science. Some accomplish amazing bubble tricks. And some explore bubbles as a complement to other performing arts.
Me? I try to make the most beautiful bubbles. Bubbles for the delight of children and adults alike.
Pop!
I also enjoy hand-crafting attractive, high-functioning bubble equipment.

Bubble practice at one of my favorite places, McClure's Beach, near Tomales Point at Point Reyes National Seashore:
My very first time doing big bubbles. I was there because I was asked to take photos for the bubblers, and then they placed the wands in my hands, and I was hooked.
