News from the Knoll
Spring is now summer, and I find myself balancing time in the garden with time at the easle. Time spent at the coast with time cooking from the garden. Time traveling balanced with stillness at home where I find most of my inspiration…the plants, the clouds, the light up here on the knoll. Waves and water have me right now. Having grown up in Lunada Bay, CA in the town of Palos Verdes, we literally grew up on the beach. I travel “home” often, and spend time up and down the WA, OR and CA coasts.
