The Ligue Henri IV is a non-profit 501(c) organization based in San Francisco which was founded by French immigrants in 1895. The original members were from the South West region of France known as the Béarn in the Pyrénées. The organizers formed the society for the mutual aid, benefit and protection of their compatriots from the South-West of France, which constituted the majority of the French colony of San Francisco at that time. Today the Society consists of French or French descendants who are submitted by members and recommended by committee. The goals of the Society are to maintain camaraderie between all its members and to ensure the preservation of French culture in the Bay Area.
The French Mutual Benevolent Society formed the first Health Maintenance Organization in America and built the French Hospital, California's foremost medical institution of the early 20th century. Their mission is to advocate for French Heritage and traditions in the community. They seek to invest their resources in caring for the culture, historical legacy, and well-being of the Bay Area's French Community. They are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

MerciSF is fully aware that the French, Francophile and the Francophone community is not concentrated in the City, so we are expanding our reach to the Bay area and are always happy to share information from Napa through San Jose.

I create kiln-formed glass vessels that embody both function and feeling. To me, vessels are more than just containers — they are timeless conduits for connection. Whether offering food, sheltering precious objects, or holding space in ritual and memory, vessels link people across cultures, generations, and experiences.
My work is deeply inspired by the California coast — a place where land meets sea in a constant conversation of movement and stillness. I follow the natural blueprint etched by ocean tides, rugged cliffs, and the quiet persistence of native flora and fauna. This environment informs not only the shapes and textures I create, but also the spirit of each piece.
In fog or clarity, in stillness or transformation, glass becomes my medium for translating nature’s rhythms into tangible form. Each vessel is an offering — a moment of connection, held in light.
