Through May 21, 2026
Hotel Lobby
Artist reception | Wednesday, April 22 | 5-6:30 pm
Healdsburg Artist and educator Linus Lancaster, in collaboration with students from Healdsburg High School, presents The Ashokawna Watershed Atlas Projects—a richly layered exploration of place through material and form. Drawing from locally sourced clays gathered throughout the Russian River Watershed, the exhibition transforms earth into both medium and message, expressed through hand-built ceramics, watercolor, and sculptural works that mirror the region’s diverse topography and soil compositions.
On view in the lobby, a series of Wild Clay Plates offers an intimate study of the land’s natural palette and texture, while T’suno Mountain View unfolds as an immersive, suspended panorama. Mapped by drone from the summit of T’suno (Fitch Mountain) and rendered on a continuous strip of canvas, the piece invites guests to experience the uninterrupted ridgelines and horizons that would surround the hotel in an unobstructed landscape.
Extending this sense of journey, the Ashokawna Profile traces the geological narrative of the watershed mile by mile—from the headwaters in Redwood Valley to the estuary at Jenner—positioning Healdsburg at its center. Together, these works form a poetic tribute to the region’s ecology and terroir, grounding the guest experience in the elemental beauty of Northern Sonoma County.
