On a spring day in Sausalito, CA, Gail Morris is hard at work in her studio overlooking the San Francisco Bay. A hazy blue sky peeks through windows that stretch along the north and west sides of the warehouse space. A stunning view of Mount Tamalpais greets visitors, and in the middle of the 800-square-foot studio sit two easels. On one rests a landscape inspired by rural Sonoma County, featuring a stream slicing through lush grassy fields. A thin strip of low-hanging fog hovers close to the ground.
