The San Diego Museum of Art - Jeff Motch and Clea Hantman

Clea Hantman has written eleven books for major publishers. Before that she owned her own successful retail business in downtown San Diego for five years. She’s written for every major publication in San Diego and her work has appeared in dozens of national magazines.
Clea has also been certified by the VPN America, the local branch of the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana, an international non-profit organization founded in the mid 1990’s by a group of Neapolitan pizzaiolis (pizza makers). At Blind Lady Ale House we don't follow all the rules laid out by the VPN, but instead use them as a guideline to base our own pizza philosophy on—we specialize in a combination of old world techniques and local sourcing to create a tasty and thoughtful product. Clea is the backbone of this company running payroll, accounts receivable/payable, special event catering, and more.

Jeff Motch has a degree in Art from SDSU and his work has graced the covers of bands such as Jack Johnson, blink-182, G. Love and many local bands, he has designed for the San Diego Padres, Patagonia, several local restaurants as well as created fine art posters. He ran the local music zine 360, was art director for Cargo Music/Headhunter Records, spent time in Italy working for Acerbis Italia, Designed for the Padres, and co-owned his design firm, Lively and Motch, for five years with Dave Lively of Fall Brewing Company.

Clea & Jeff also own and run Blind Lady Ale House in Normal Heights and the defunct Tiger!Tiger!Tavern in North Park.
