works possessing multiple layers of readings," Hoffman said.
"One can interpret sadness, frustration, contemplation and
heavy doses of dark humor."

Valley and San Francisco. He received multiple awards at these shows
including first and third places at the 2004 Napa Valley Expo Professional
Art Exhibition, first place at the 2004 Cal Poly Student Show and
