SALVATION MOUNTAIN

when i was recently back in LA i took my mom on a spontaneous adventure to {almost} mexico to check something off my bucket list-- visit salvation mountain.  i had seen pictures of the art installation all over the internet, in ads and on other blogs so i wanted to see it for myself.  a week with absolutely no plans was the perfect opportunity!

a brief background on the mountain: artist leonard knight has been creating this mountain for years in niland, california with hay, plaster and donated paint.  a pilgrimage for some and a sight of fascination for others, the mountain draws thousands of people a year to the absolute middle of nowhere, california.  knight who recently passed away has left the mountain to the desert.

though what my mother considers "too hippy-ish", this piece of art is something i find completely amazing.  so grand in size, color and concept it is truly inspiring and was such a great adventure.  check out some pictures from my visit below!!

if you're like me and kind of addicted to social media {both a blessing and a curse in my book} i would be totally flattered if you'd check out me on other social media platforms!  my favorite, of course, is instagram but you can also find me on sites like facebook, twitter and tumblr!  

>>at my instagram you'll find lots of pictures of crazy adventures and flowers {i mean a lot of flowers}

>>on twitter you'll be able to stay updated when i post new things on this blog and that's pretty cool!

>>facebook is where you'll be able to conveniently click on links to new posts and inspirational things i find on the web including and not limited to other articles, recipes and fun photos!

>>tumblr is my collection of photographs, words and other things that truely inspire my artwork and aesthetic.... somethings are very artistic while others lean to the personal side

i hope that you find yourself scrolling through my feeds and staying updated with my creative process called life!
