Late-season Summer
Enjoying Bay Area treasures as the weather turns warmer in San Francisco.
Late-summer treats from our CSA, Open Field Farm in Petaluma. It is rejuvenating to end the week at the farm picking our fresh produce and flowers.
“Could Be,” a poem that explores how creative expression, often created in fleeting moments, can transcend the limitations of life and time.
Artist Kim Yasuda (1998)
San Jose Museum of Art featuring a wall of pressed botanicals. Fascinating to see how well life can be captured when preserved in such an intentional way.
I got to see Ken Currie’s beautiful and slightly creepy paintings of medical professionals at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh. For “Three Oncologists,” the artist spent hours observing three ground-breaking surgeons in the operating theater and was inspired when he heard them talking about their work as “retrieving people” from the darkness of cancer.
I added a somatic communications facilitator certificate to my skill set this month after delivering a Practice Workshop for other women around the world that supported us all grounding in “Presence Through Movement” during this transitional season.
Late-season heirloom tomatoes at the market now, like the “crushed heart” variety here, come in the most beautiful red tones. I love the bold red with brown, purple, and yellow hues. Inspires me to work with “healthcare red” in more warm, organic ways for client brands.
This painting seems to embody what seeking transformation can feel like — clouded, yet clear, all while being surrounded by different elements of life!
Artist: Suzy Kim (2022), “Seeking Transformation”
The London-based sound design agency, Father, is very slick and offers this printed “Sonic Handbook” as an introduction on their website.
I have been trying to expand my music taste, and I have fallen in love with the band, AJJ. Their music is a candid exploration of personal struggles, a critique of various aspects of society, human behavior, and existential angst. I find their work very thought-provoking and intriguing.
Loved the costume and intense British style of Guy Ritchie’s “The Gentlemen” series on Netflix. The character Susie Glass is a serious power-dresser with oversized tailored suits, platform pumps, and lots of gold jewelry.
Enjoying one of Austin’s many museum districts this season and staying inside, keeping our creativity crisp and cool.
