THE ALCHEMY OF DISTANT TIDES
Abstract Paintings by Aaron Webb Studio

In The Alchemy of Distant Tides, abstract painter and Navy sailor Aaron Webb continues to explore the places we leave, the places we seek, and, most compellingly, the ways memory transforms both. Through saltwater, oxidation, layered surfaces, and elemental materials, these paintings trace the passage between experience and remembrance; where distance becomes longing, time becomes patina, and the sea becomes both memory and metaphor.

Explore a new body of work shaped by the wild sea and the transformative forces of time and tide.

MOVEMENT & STILLNESS
Atmospheric Coastal Photography by Alexis Greenberg Photography & Sculptural Figures by Debra Owen

Some moments cannot be held. A dancer's gesture, fog drifting across the coastline, light changing by the second. In Movement & Stillness, artists Alexis Greenberg and Debra Owen each preserve these fleeting experiences through different mediums. Owen's Degas-inspired multimedia dancers embody grace through line and form, while Greenberg's atmospheric coastal photographs evoke a sense of wanderlust, capturing the ever-changing rhythms of the California coast. Together, they celebrate the beauty of the fleeting and the quiet act of paying attention.

Dr. Orin Carpenter ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE at Appellation Healdsburg - named the Number 1 Resort in California and the Continental United States in the Travel + Leisure 2026 World’s Best Awards.

July 1 - 31, 2026

Dr. Carpenter’s new body of work, “Presence,” is rooted in the North Bay where coastal fog rolls in from the Pacific, vineyard hills catch gold light at dusk, and the headlands stand quiet above the water. These are not backdrops. They are living spaces with their own memory, their own rhythm, and their own claim on the people who enter them. Presence in the Landscape is an offering of attention- an invitation to stand still long enough to feel how a place holds you, and to ask what it is asking of you in return.

✦ Saturday, July 11th, 12pm - 2pm
OFFICE HOURS with Dr. Orin Carpenter
Free and open to the public to meet the artist at work at Appellation Hotel.

✦ Saturday, July 18th, 2pm - 4pm
SPIRIT OF PLACE WORKSHOP
Instructed by Dr. Orin Carpenter, this abstract landscape workshop invites participants to explore expressive mark-making, layered color techniques, and imaginative composition as they reimagine the natural world. Beginning with a hike through the hotel’s nature trail, through a blend of emotion, memory, and intuitive storytelling, guests will use various gathered mixed media materials and learn to translate the spirit of a place into bold, atmospheric forms that carry both personal and visual power.
