Surf Art Collection

Exhibition Description:
Have you ever experienced a Superbloom? It is one of the most amazing things you can be a part of; however it is rare, divine, and the timing must be right. Last spring California experienced a Superbloom. During this time, my husband and I took the opportunity to embark on a spectacular camping trip along the Pacific Coast Highway. For a month, we disconnected from our everyday lives and soaked in all of the inspiration that the coast had to offer.
The trip had me thinking. Even though Superblooms are really rare, each year the flowers still manage to bloom but in smaller quantities. It’s sort of like people. We all have small blooms here and there, but it is rare we experience those core moments; those “Superblooms” of our lives.
I think sometimes we all want more “Superblooms” than we normally encounter in life. However, the important thing is to embrace the ones that we are offered and trust that the universe has a plan for us. The point is, as long as you are moving forward, planting the right seeds and staying on your own path, you will be rewarded when the timing is right. Individually, nature will take its course and allow us to “bloom” and “Superbloom” when the time is right.
In this exhibition, you will experience the inspiration and positive impact that I felt on my trip. I hope to uplift you and build your confidence in knowing you are on the right path and that your time will come, too.
