Her work has appeared in collections, commissions and exhibitions around the globe and has been mentioned in publications including the Wall Street Journal and The Californian.
In addition to the new exhibit, COAST Big Sur features an iconic exterior design comprised of three enormous water tanks fashioned with 2,000-year-old redwood slabs, a wide selection of fine art, unique tabletop gifts and an elevated casual café with a stunning view of the California coastline from an expansive rooftop terrace.
