Hayes Valley is a neighborhood located in the Western Addition of San Francisco. The history of the area can be traced back to the mid-19th century, when it was mostly rural land used for farming and ranching.
The neighborhood began to develop in the 1850s and 1860s, when the city of San Francisco expanded westward and began to fill in the open spaces between the original city center and the Pacific Ocean. The area was named for Thomas Hayes, who was one of the first settlers in the area and owned a large ranch that covered much of the present-day neighborhood.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Hayes Valley underwent a period of rapid development. Victorian and Edwardian-style homes were built, many of which still stand today and are considered some of the city's most beautiful and historic buildings. Additionally, several important civic institutions were established in the neighborhood, including the San Francisco Symphony and the San Francisco Opera.
During the 20th century, Hayes Valley faced a number of challenges. In the 1950s and 1960s, the neighborhood was heavily impacted by the construction of the Central Freeway, which cut through the heart of the community and separated it from the rest of the city. This led to a decline in property values and a decline in the overall quality of life in the area.
In the aftermath of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the Central Freeway was severely damaged and ultimately demolished in the 1990s. This opened up new opportunities for redevelopment in the area, and the neighborhood has undergone a period of revitalization in recent years. Today, Hayes Valley is considered one of San Francisco's most vibrant and desirable neighborhoods, known for its charming architecture, vibrant cultural scene, and diverse community which is home to a wide variety of independent shops and boutiques, as well as some of the city's best restaurants and cafes. From trendy clothing stores and home decor shops to artisanal coffee shops and farm-to-table restaurants, Hayes Valley has something for everyone.

The paper is specifically made for face mounted prints and features a pearl-like luminescence. When light hits the acrylic, it refracts through the artwork and gives off an appearance of having been illuminated from within. These are the most vibrant and detailed prints I offer.
