Join photographer Christina McFaul on March 16, 2024, from 5 P.M. to 8:30 P.M., for the unveiling and large-scale exhibition of her latest photography book, 'Sanctuary in the Wild.' Envision yourself meandering amongst the rare exotic flora of the lush Conservatory while delighting in an exquisite exhibition by a local artist and the works of promising young artists at the San Diego Botanic Gardens in Encinitas, the evening promises an enchanting blend of art, wine, nature, and inspiration.
Christina's monograph is a deep dive into our intrinsic connection with nature, portrayed through the adventurous eyes of two young brothers. It reveals the enchanting magic and mysteries of the wilderness. This hand-crafted artist book, a limited-edition of only 200 copies, includes a 7” x 5” original archival print, each signed by Christina herself. Her captivating black-and-white portraits and landscapes unveil the breathtaking beauty of the wild.
The evening is set to be an immersive experience that brings the book's themes to life, inviting guests to explore their personal connection with the natural world. Moreover, the event will showcase a special exhibition of photographs by emerging young talents mentored by Christina, offering a glimpse into the future of photography. In a pledge to conservation, 10% of all proceeds from the evening will be generously donated to a nonprofit dedicated to the protection and restoration of our precious wildlands for generations to come. Don't miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the profound beauty of the wild, as seen through Christina's eyes. Let's come together to celebrate art and nature.

About Christina McFaul: “Having grown up on a lake nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains of California, I found my sanctuary amidst the rolling hills of oaks and Malibu Creek State Park. This profound connection with the wild instilled in me a deep respect for our environment and a desire to protect it. My photography is an extension of this passion, capturing the raw essence of nature and highlighting the urgent need for conservation. Through my lens, I want to inspire others to see the beauty of our natural world and understand our critical role in preserving it."
