My sweet family, lovely community of friends, and this beautiful part of Northern California are my biggest sources of happiness!

Wildflowers, the ocean, the colors of the sky at sunrise and sunset all form the palette and aesthetic of Salt + Clay. My family and I are outside just about every day, some days surfing, other days playing in the garden.
