There are numerous outdoor art installations that are worth checking out as a part of a quick walk. There's a small theatre indoors that hosts plays (mostly on weekends). We didn't have a chance to visit the play but it was seemingly packed given the number of cars parked :-). We had a chance to speak with the staff and they were super friendly. All in all, I'd recommend keeping aside a couple of hours if possible during your trip.

It's a studio where in the back they create wood art. They take a slab of wood or piece of redwood, smooth it down, and paint it to see the beauty of the grain. No two pieces of wood are alike. If i can afford it, i wood (would, get it) get the beautiful big bowl or the credenza or the coffee table or the driftwood with air plant. Stop and enjoy some wood art. They custom make table tops.

Michael and Marion have put an intelligent edge on the wonderful things they choose to represent the name Henley's.

I particularly enjoy her many captures of nature and the calming effect of the environment. Lisa, like her art has a radiant personality and is truly a joy to be around.

I only recently met Lisa through my wife Kimmy and I must say Kimmy has very good taste in people…read more My mother was an accomplished artist herself and I think Lisa shows real talent. She uses mainly Acrylic Paint and a knife to paint and has a gift for perspective, color, and balance. I was especially impressed by her subtle use of blue in a small painting of birches, which really pops out at you almost like 3D. I know too how difficult painting water can be and she tackled that nicely in a recent boat painting. Again I was both surprised and pleased by her use of color here. I am getting ready to publish a new book of poetry and hoping that I will be able to talk Lisa into doing some painting that will capture the mood of my work! Keep your eye on this young lady! I know that I am!
