Mark Rivera holds dearly within his heart a dozen golden years in Davis, California. His work can be found in numerous public places such as Delta of Venus Restaurant, Davis Central Park, The Davis Food Coop, UC Davis, USDA Davis Headquarters and the Sacramento International Airport, as well as in a number of private collections. Rivera is inspired by spiritual matters and sacred spaces such as Native American medicine wheels, Mandalas, Buddhist sand painting, nature and environment, sacred geometry and crop circles. “Clay has opened many windows and doors for my imagination to wander and flourish, giving my reality a voice.” –Mark Rivera
