Kim Hannan - Artist

You don't need to remodel your home. You don't need a gallery wall or a design consultation. You need one piece — one image that makes you exhale when you walk in the room. One moment of soft fascination, hung somewhere you'll see it every day. That's not decorating. That's tending to yourself. That's the impact of nature art at home.

Back east, the Magnolia grandiflora has a presence that Southern California simply can't replicate. Photographing one in full bloom brought back a lifetime of memories — and led me to a story about this flower I hadn't expected to find.

The gondolier's stripe takes years to earn. The light that glows off Venice's canals has no equal. The story behind the art — and the piece is available to bring home.
