2010

berkeley, california

i love containers, especially glass jars with a lid. i save every jar that enters our home. pickle jars, juice jars, jam jars, mustard jars, . . . i often buy something that i would never even use or eat only because i want the jar that it comes in. my husband doesn't fully understand why i need so many jars, but he is pretty good about saving them for me, and maybe one day he WILL get it.

santa margherita, italy.

2000

driving in santa margherita ligure. the italian riviera is so beautiful and vibrant. and i think the people here might be more relaxed, so the driving is slightly less scary than the rest of italy.

costa brava, spain.

2005

in 2005 i biked through northern spain, what a beautiful part of the world. spain is definitely one of my top 3 favorite countries. this was lunch at a very charming restaurant called CAN QUEL, which we just happened to stumble upon. this is my favorite type of meal. so simple yet so delicious.

frankfurt, germany

2005

i love the way land looks from way up in the sky. landscapes become big seamless quilts, and all of the colors of the fabric seem to match perfectly. sometimes it's a good idea to step back and see things in a different light and angle. you can really gain a new perspective. and things might even look a little bit better to you.

northern spain.

july 2005

spain is my favorite country. i love the richness of the people, the culture, the food, the landscape, the colours, . . . i am 1/4 spanish and every time i visit spain, i feel such a deep connection with the land. almost like i belong there. i hope to someday live in spain, or at least have a house there that i could visit frequently. very frequently.

friday field trip (from the sketchbook).

fresno, california

october 2009

i was born and raised in fresno and we still have the same house that we moved into when i was 6. i often take piles of clothes + shoes home that i don't really want to "get rid" of, but don't want in my closet here. also, when i go home for a visit, i don't have to pack much. i found these shoes in my fresno closet that look much better on PAPER than they ever did ON !

emeryville, ca

i have a collection of old mason jars. i am besotted with their cool shades of green + blue. they remind me of classic sea glass . . . which reminds me of the sea . . . which brings me to such a serene and tranquil place, just by looking at them.

friday field trip (from the sketchbook).

baja, california

1994

i love spaces between the teeth. it adds so much character and intrigue to a face. i befriended this little girl, daphne, on the beach in baja. she would stand so close to me that all i could focus on were the spaces between her teeth. she was a sweet little girl with a big beautiful smile.

pubol, spain

2005

i saw this dress in the gala dali castle, which was salvador dali's last workshop and the mausoleum for his muse, gala. this is one of her dresses. i love the idea of wearing a uniform everyday and if i had to, i would make sure mine was something just like this.
