The beautiful and stunning Round Pond Estate. Fall is the most majestic time of year. I truly live to see the power of nature show her true colors every year. Yountville is in all its glory right now, too. Beyond grateful to live in this Valley.

Incredible next step for Seeds of Peace! The Groundbreaking Ceremony has taken place in San Jose. The monument will stand over 20' tall, and brings together all walks of life, cultures and people through its profound representation...every continent, every culture, every peace symbol, and every language will be found on this monument...everyone will be able to find a part of themselves on it. The site will be place for our global community to gather together, and be represented...together.

It takes an entire community to make something of this scale happen. Wonderful comments by artist and sculptor Mario Chiodo, lead sponsor Diane Brandenburg, the Mayor and Councilman of San Jose, the Chair of the San Jose Arts Commission as well as the President of the San Jose Rotary. I'm honored to be a part of this incredible initiative. A truly, truly inspiring day!

Unveiling is set for January 2027. Stay tuned for details.

Treating myself to dinner and a movie while Zion is out and about Halloweening in San Francisco. A cup of coffee to PERFECTION!

Copra was AMAZING! The briyani took me all the way back to my former life in Singapore. Full of Gratitude for the life I have lived. Food brings everyone together, and the memories stick for life.

So exciting!!! I love so much to see progress and productivity occurring in real time as a result of our trade delegations to Cambodia. Congratulations Honorary Consulate Kim Chha Hout and Dr. Natalie Tran...you got the conversation started in 2024 and here you are with an MOU...onward and upward!

Posted by the Consulate General of Cambodia in Long Beach:

🇺🇸🤝🇰🇭 Congratulations to California State
University, Fullerton (CSUF) and Phnom Penh International University (PPIU) on the signing of their Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)!

This MOU marks an important first step toward building stronger educational ties between the United States and Cambodia, opening doors to future academic collaboration, student opportunities, and knowledge exchange.

In December 2024, Dr. Natalie Tran joined a trade mission to Cambodia led by Mr. Kim Chha Hout, Honorary Consul General of Cambodia in California and President of the Cambodia Chamber of Commerce representation in California. During this mission, Mr. Kim Chha Hout successfully helped connect the two institutions, laying the groundwork for this meaningful partnership.

It is rewarding to see these connections develop into concrete progress that can benefit students, educators, and both countries for years to come.

Once again, congratulations to CSUF and PPIU on this important milestone! May this partnership mark the beginning of a lasting and successful educational collaboration between the United States and Cambodia.

UNBOUND is opening on October 23 at Jessup Cellars!

Swing by and check out this unique collection of Emma Heun's edgy and thought-provoking work.

Emma is a self-taught, multi-disciplinary artist based in Northern California. Her creative practice spans many skillsets and interests, including drawing, watercolor, fiber arts, and paper crafts, with oil painting as her primary professional focus.

Her work features vibrant colors, somber figures, and often presents an exploration of polysemy, the concept multiple meanings or interpretations layered into a single piece. Old school meets new school with her combination of old masters’ techniques and new-age art forms. Using paint, mediums, gold leaf, and image transfers of her own photography to add layers of texture and depth.

Pop art, graffiti, punk subculture and feminist ideology are all major sources of inspiration that play heavily in the themes of her work. Her most recent collection, “Street Writer” is a series of graffiti pieces worked over gel prints and layered with gold leaf. These pieces turn random words into revered slogans simply by presenting them in an unexpected way.

EMMA is currently working on a large-scale project focused on dramatic angles, birds-eye perspective, and human story telling. The first piece in this collection was inspired by her work on “Feeling the Blues” in 2025 is set to be completed in 2027.

Her painting, “Feeling the Blues” was commissioned by Leonard Wine Company and is permanently installed in their events space. Her work is held private collections, showcased in pop up exhibitions around Napa Valley.

Join us on October 23 - UNBOUND will feature the colorful and dramatic works of @emheun and @agnesartshop. Can't wait! DM for more info! @jessupcellars

I've made an acquisition! This Thomas Ramey piece really spoke to me. If I had more lives, I would have pursued a full-blown career in architecture and design. Thomas used blueprints and drawings as the backdrop to this geometric ensemble of color. The blueprints date back decades! I just had to have this piece as a reminder of my alter ego....but hey, art life can take many forms. Art is an industry I absolutely love and live for, and I have had the honor of working with a multitude of artists, designers and architects over the years...going alllllll the way back to when I owned my own gallery in downtown Chicago. This piece just kinda reminds me of the many roads I traveled in this crazy world of art. Paths taken. Paths traveled. Paths crossed. How lucky am I. Full of Gratitude. @dreadedartist 🙏🙏🙏

SAVE THE DATE!

Excited to be working with these two wonderful artists! I've been waiting for this show to finally come to fruition....and here it is!

UNBOUND knows no boundaries....just as I have watched these two women push themselves all the way outside the box in their lives and careers, their works are also a true reflection of each of them: unrestricted, energetic, and full of thought and movement. This installation is a dynamic exploration of freedom, emotion, and transformation...both artists moving themselves and their works beyond the expected.

Opening Night, October 23 from 6-8 pm
Agnes Pierscieniak + Emma Heun

San Francisco based artist Sophia Lee's ECO. LOGICAL. installation will features this dramatic Etched In Coal series. Her work thrives in duality, and the marriage of juxtaposed influences...emphasizing her two cultural traditions - of the East and the West.

Her artwork is material curated from urban waste - turning the waste into beautiful, abstract and dreamlike surfaces - all to remind us of the sensitivity and sustainability of nature.

ECO. LOGICAL.

SAVE THE DATE!

San Francisco–based artist Sophia Lee
explores the relationship between
nature, design, and human impact
through ECO. LOGICAL., a sustainable
art installation at Round Pond Estate.
Using reclaimed and environmentally
conscious materials, Lee transforms
what might otherwise be discarded into thoughtful works that celebrate beauty, creativity, and responsible stewardship. Her work invites viewers to look differently at the materials around us— and to consider how art can become a catalyst for a more sustainable future.

ECO. LOGICAL. is a natural extension
of Round Pond Estate’s commitment to
sustainability. From its vineyards and
wine production to its estate-grown
olives and artisan olive oil, Round Pond
embraces responsible agricultural
practices and a deep respect for the
land. Lee’s philosophy mirrors this
mission: finding new value in existing
resources, minimizing waste, and
creating something meaningful from
what already exists. Together, the art
and estate tell a shared story—one of
beauty rooted in the land, thoughtful
stewardship, and a commitment to
preserving our environment for
generations to come.
