My eyes and heart are full after seeing Ruth Asawa’s retrospective at SF MOMA today- she created inspirational work across diverse media, including sculpture, painting, printmaking, and paper arts. She survived internment camps during WW II, and persisted in making art her entire life.
Just wow 😮
Have a fabulous time! (Probably goes without saying!)

As a bonus, I got to watch a mother Great Horned Owl sitting in her nest way up high!

Bookmarks with native California plants, specifically those of the redwood understory 🌲💚 carved and printed by hand for my monthly horticulture group

A stunning day at the Palo Alto Baylands looking towards the Santa Cruz mountains. The only negative was that every few minutes a small plane would fly over my head coming in for a landing nearby by 😄

While studying a rare plant in the redwoods, I took a break by drawing a gorgeous redwood with ink and soluble graphite 🥰
