March 18, 2022 Ying Subia

Topnotch golf courses, art galleries and seals share the dramatic oceanside landscape of La Jolla, an affluent community 15 minutes from downtown San Diego. Swimmers, snorkelers and kayakers dip into La Jolla Cove, where the protected waters shield an abundance of bright orange Garibaldi fish and sea caves indent the cliffs. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the family-friendly Birch Aquarium and the acclaimed La Jolla Playhouse deliver breaks from the sun.

i stumbled upon RC gorman navajo gallery in la jolla by chance and it’s definitely worth a visit! the art is absolutely gorgeous (i am posting a photo of my favorite piece i saw there by the artist) as is the pottery. the woman who works there (i think her name is jamie?) was so gracious and really took her time explaining the life and the processes of the artist, as well as explaining the differences between prints and giclees. came away with a box of cards but may return for a giclee of my favorite piece!

Incredible images, beautiful gallery & lovely people. One of the reasons we love La Jolla is the galleries. Went to dinner than wandered the rest of the evening. This was one of our favorites on my husband’s birthday trip. We spent quite a bit of our evening soaking these images in. What a world we live in! The crazy talented Nat Geo photographers capture nature like none other. Nothing short of amazing!
