Sandsations 2019

Sculptors of sand gather every year on the Long Beach Peninsula to practice their art next to the crashing surf of the Pacific Ocean. Spectacular creations are carved to rise above the beach, only to be swept away by the next tide. Sand is an ephemeral medium for an artist to work - with a blink of the eye it is returned to the blank canvas it once was, waiting to be transformed once again.

Travelling to Chihuly Garden and Glass is a journey into another world.

Jewels of the Dawn

As the sea mists blow in gentle waves across the coastal woods, it falls like jewels on the bright flowers of a Pacific Northwest spring. The dew shines in translucent glory leaves and petals, gilding them with strands of diamond pearls. They pool in hollows like dragons hordes, transform spiders webs into intricate works of art, and transform humble grassy yards into a sparkling landscape.
