Bay Area DesignCraft Heroine: Erin McGuiness

"Sitting with Erin McGuiness in her studio (eating teacakes from Bette's To Go - yum!) is like sitting with a girlfriend and having a good gossip. Until , that is, you look around at the work, and then you realize that you're in the presence of a major talent," is the beginning of a wonderful review and interview with Erin McGuiness about her work on the new blog, handful of salt.

Adaline Kent - CA Sculptor

I just fell in love! Today's SF magazine's article about the SF MOMA's anniversary show (which I am really excited about) included this image of California sculptor, Adaline Kent. She collaborated with the famed landscape architect Thomas Church - link to more info about them here. Her work has blown me away and I can not wait to research more about this fascinating fellow Bay Area sculptor!
