Kelly Boitano

Nathanael Gray

Nathanael Gray created this painting on location at Point Reyes National Seashore, placing his canvases directly on the beach near the water’s edge. The marks, drips, and gestures within the work are shaped by his physical presence and direct engagement with the ocean environment.
Approaching the ocean as a living, uncontrollable force, Gray embraces painting as both an attempt to contain and surrender to it. Working intuitively, he responds to shifting elements of sand, wind, tide, and sound—at times pausing to listen to the surf before applying paint, and at others reacting urgently to the advancing water. The artist’s physical limitations, environmental interference, and changing light conditions become embedded in the surface of the work, merging human vulnerability with the vastness of the natural world.
Gray’s large-scale impasto paintings are typically produced outdoors, where abstraction, expressive mark-making, and color draw from Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and Abstract Expressionism. He is known for spontaneous interpretations of the California coast and mountains, often completing paintings in little more than an hour.

Justine Martinez

Justine paints abstracted figurative paintings that explore what it means to be fully alive, a journey from fragmented living to wholeness. Through layered, intuitive processes using fluid mediums like ink and water alongside oils and acrylics, she lets intuition lead, creating pieces where vivid scenes and backgrounds move through human faces and figures. Her work explores both the pain of disconnection and the potential for flourishing, challenging dehumanizing narratives through honest storytelling.

Augusto Piccio IV

Augusto Piccio IV is a California-based art director, graphic designer, and academic, working through a process with roots in cultural and visual anthropology—an attempt at understanding how humanity documents and communicates itself to the world. He works closely with Reality SF, designing our BREAD Journals each year and many other beautiful visuals you might see, like design work for our Annual Vision & Prayer.

Sam Setthaya

Sam moved to San Francisco in 2015 after feeling called by God to serve with Youth With A Mission San Francisco (YWAM SF).

His artist name is Dinsaww, which means “pencil” in Thai. He loves where he lives, where he comes from, and the places he has visited. In his free time, he enjoys drawing and creating art inspired by architecture and landscapes. He is especially drawn to architecture and landscapes because they tell the history of each place and reflect the beautiful stories that are passed down from generation to generation.

Christine Wu

Christine Wu is a creative who works in ministry here in San Francisco. This pot was inspired by a Möbius strip – a three-dimensional loop that strangely has only one side. At a glance it looks like there is a clear inside and outside, but if you follow the contours of the pot you’ll see that they share the same surface and in a sense, the same side. She made it during a time in her life when she was thinking about what it would take for two people on different sides of something to find a way to each other.

Kelsey Anderson

Kelsey Anderson is a San Francisco–based creative serving in ministry. As a multidisciplinary artist, she explores the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and creativity through visual art and design. Her practice is rooted in the belief that creativity is both a form of worship and an invitation for others to encounter beauty, reflection, and hope. Kelsey is passionate about cultivating spaces where imagination and faith coexist, and bringing awareness to the Sacred through creative expression.
