I just love the colours in this beautiful Sonoma County home and workshop of wood artist Gwen Gunheim...... I have included an extract of the original text below as it is beautifully written and I can never paraphrase....
For Gwen Gunheim, a fifth-generation Californian, working with wood is a process that connects her history and heritage to the present moment. Because of her deep local roots, she desires to embrace the stories found in the materials she uses. In the early 1950s, her great-grandfather Harry built a house in Monte Rio, California. When it burned down in a fire four years ago, she visited the remains of the structure and salvaged what she could.
In her first trials with woodwork, she dismantled the steps of the house, which were constructed from old-growth pine, and reshaped them into handled French-style cutting boards for her family. In another project, lumber framing from the walls of the house became the base of a dining table, recollecting the charred memories of a previous life. A live-edge redwood slab served as the tabletop; it was sourced from a tree that she removed with her father from family land by Timber Cove, an hour west of her home in Santa Rosa.....
