AAUW Home Tour with Artists and Artisans

-The 41st AAUW Home Tour showcases four exciting homes, each with a different slant on California coastal living. Works of local artists and artisans will be on display and available for purchase. Presented by the American Association of University Women, San Clemente-Capistrano Bay Branch

-Tuscan/Mediterranean -This home demonstrates the transformative power of redecorating. The owner took a
bland house and turned it into a Tuscan villa. By removing walls and redesigning spaces, every room, the expansive deck and patio exude the feeling of an entertaining vacation in Italy.

Artist: Shelby Allen-pastels…..Artisan: Tess Kelly-floral designs (living & silk).

-Hollywood Regency- The elegance of old Hollywood is apparent as soon as one starts up the winding drive.
Designed in 1940 by Aubrey St. Clair, a noted Laguna Beach architect, this two-story home built on expansive grounds has retained its ambiance and charm through the years. Large rooms and the extensive property are a reminder of the days long gone when owners built unique and very individualized manors.

Artist: Robin Wethe Altman-watercolors…..Artisan: Judith Armstrong-jewelry, silver & bronze

-Contemporary Ranch- The owners of this home display their extensive and beautifully framed art collection in
a magnificent setting overlooking the ocean. On every wall their love of art and in every room their appreciation for
unique objects and furniture delight the eye of the observer. The wraparound deck and the courtyard entry provide perfect areas for entertaining.

Artist: Lyndelle Stonick-watercolors, oils and pastels

Artisan: Carolyn Machado-jewelry

Artisan: Studio Artique-fine wood framing of exclusive master & contemporary art

-French Country/Cottage-This welcoming and nurturing home nestles in a garden which is like a painting, as is the
exquisite interior. The garden boasts a rollicking waterfall and pond and specimen flowers. Inside, paintings by the
husband complement the bright and cozy furniture, treasures from European travels and family antiques.

Artist: Chuck Zoltan-oils

Artisan: Jan Hem-fine gourd art
