For years I wanted one for our spaces, but logistics and square footage always stood in the way. When we began designing Prot

2025 was pretty hectic, but I have a feeling 2026 is going to be even crazier, especially in the next six months. We've been secretly working on something new, and I can share a bit about what's got me excited. The rest will unfold gradually, so make sure to keep up with us on Instagram or Twitter.

John, Jeremy and I took a quick trip to Los Angeles for R & D for the new restaurant. Other than a few days five years ago, I haven't been to Los Angeles for over thirty years. What an overwhelming transformation from memory to reality. This journey to Los Angeles evoked a complex array of emotions that will impact my creative process for some time. The city offered a stark contrast between inspiration and hardship, as well as beauty and struggle. From the lively art scenes i

From Silence to Pulse — A Journey Through Six Cities This year, I’ve spent more time travelling and returning to the lens — revisiting my roots in photography and blending them with the evolving language of AI. With work from Peru, Italy, Berlin and London I have captured enough content to use for months. What began as an experiment in image-making has become a deeper conversation between what is seen and what is imagined. Layer by layer, I’m exploring how technology can exte

In anticipation of my upcoming trip to Berlin, I found myself immersed in a vivid daydream, imagining what it might have been like to have lived in this vibrant city during my 20s, a time marked by exploration, rebellion, and the pulsating energy of youth. As I envisioned this youthful existence, my thoughts naturally drifted to the passage of time, and I fast-forwarded to my 60s, contemplating the inevitable changes that life brings. This reflective process is what inspired

As I work on a new edition of ARTCHRONICLES that highlights my recent journey to Peru, I wanted to share a preview of my adventure with you! During the trip, I took over 3,850 photos and have already removed about a third of them, but it was thrilling to alternate between my camera and iPhone. If I were to sum up my trip in three words, they would be VIBRANCY, SOUL, and DIVERSITY. It was an incredible experience, and I am deeply grateful for the chance to explore parts of Per

Over the past four months my muse has been the simple, yet complex Poppy flower. Light Gatherers Why Poppy? In December, we made the significant decision to close our Glen Ellen restaurant for a much-needed remodel and concept retooling.
