Summer’S Lease, Watercolors By Lynn Sondag, Lynn Sondag Dec 2015

Summer’S Lease, Watercolors By Lynn Sondag, Lynn Sondag

Lynn Sondag

Lynn Sondag’s expressive watercolors represent the variety of tones found in daily walks. Subtle variations evoke ripples of the Pacific West Coast light, slight movements, and the anticipation of changes to come further down the trail. 

Developed over fifteen years of walks in San Francisco’s Presidio, this imagery of Bay Area 
coastal landscapes, and the Sea Cliff neighborhood perched atop the cliffs at Land’s End, demonstrates what Sondag describes as “new perspectives” – occurring when a familiar place is transformed by fog, light, and wind. 

It is impossible to depict this region without acknowledging that it is defined by the sea. In her Ocean Beach …


Presidio Trails:Overlapping And Unfolding Narratives, Lynn Sondag Dec 2013

Presidio Trails:Overlapping And Unfolding Narratives, Lynn Sondag

Lynn Sondag

My paintings are inspired by a constant immersion in a familiar place. This allows me to notice subtleties created by sunlight fog and wind, and see an otherwise familiar environment with a new perspective. For the past fifteen years I’ve been exploring the ephemeral natural elements in the coastal landscape of San Francisco.

This most recent body of work, started in 2011, is inspired by the vibrant natural, historical, and cultural landscape of the Presidio National Park. The Presidio is a place that connects people both across time periods, as well as with in a single moment of time. The …

Facing The Gap: Educational Equity In Marin County, Lynn Sondag, Julia Van Der Ryn Dec 2012

Facing The Gap: Educational Equity In Marin County, Lynn Sondag, Julia Van Der Ryn

Lynn Sondag

Facing the Gap: It is the right of all people to have access to a full and dynamic education. In Marin County, one of the most affluent counties in the country, the educational inequities are still stark. Disenfranchised youth are not seen beyond the stereotypes and the geographic barriers that divide them and their communities from educational opportunities that can stop cycles of poverty and injustice.

Adjusting The Lens: Creating An Aesthetic Awareness Of Local Environment, Lynn Sondag Dec 2010

Adjusting The Lens: Creating An Aesthetic Awareness Of Local Environment, Lynn Sondag

Lynn Sondag

Aesthetic experiences of an “everyday” environment passed through the lens of an artist and represented visually can lead towards a deeper inquiry and awareness of one’s surroundings. Both internal and external resources are influential to this consciousness. Internally, an artist will find a way to include their perception of the world in their work, while external information- such as science based research or cultural/local beliefs also direct the imagination and heighten our aesthetic appreciation of environment or landscape. Looking at the bigger picture, what does this say about the contributions artists make in the context of environmental issues? Can bringing …
