David Pace lives in the San Francisco Bay Area where he taught photography at colleges and universities for more than twenty years. From 2009 - 2013 he was the resident director of Santa Clara University's Study Abroad Program in West Africa. Pace continues to document daily life in the rural village of Bereba in the country of Burkina Faso, where he has been photographing annually since 2007. His work has been exhibited and published internationally.
For the past four decades Connie and Stephen Wirtz have developed the careers of some of the most celebrated Bay Area artists. Together they have pioneered the work of fine art photography at a time when photography was still a marginalized art form, supporting such groundbreaking work as the 1978 exhibition, “L. Moholy = Nagg.” Over the years they opened their gallery to a range of emerging and accomplished contemporary artists, featuring such international artists as Arnaldo Pomodoro, Richard Avedon and Magdalena Abakanowicz, as well as cultivating the early careers of such California-based artists as Larry Sultan, Jim Goldberg, Todd Hido, Deborah Oropallo, and Marc Katano. Today Connie continues the Stephen Wirtz avant-garde tradition.
