A Rich Legacy of Talented Artists
Located next to the Mercantile, the Cavallo Point Art Gallery showcases engaging photography and seasonal exhibits by talented artists — continuing the rich century-old legacy of Sausalito as an artists’ community.
Current Exhibit
Through The Fog
Few phenomena shape a place like fog. It arrives without announcement, softening edges, swallowing landmarks, and transforming the familiar into something quietly mysterious. The photographs in this exhibition explore that delicate tension between concealment and revelation, between what fog takes away and what it leaves behind. Through the lenses of three artists deeply attuned to the landscapes they inhabit, fog becomes not an obstacle to seeing, but an invitation to look more carefully.
Christopher Erin
Christopher has been photographing since 1968, when he was just three. Upgrading from his first camera, a plastic Kodak Brownie, he went on to use a 4×5 view camera for over 25 years. Since 2013, he has used a 12×20 camera and the historic wet collodion process, printing in a wet darkroom from 12×20 glass negatives. He has exhibited at premier invitational art festivals since 1987 and earned Best of Photography in Sausalito, Mill Valley, and St. Louis. A local business owner, his work is held in numerous private and corporate collections.

Todd Pickering
In 1966, at age six, Todd hiked Point Reyes National Seashore’s Bear Valley Trail to Arch Rock with his grandfather, and the seed was planted. He has been walking this same land ever since, continuing his photographic exploration of the West Marin landscape. He earned a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, focusing on landscape photography and sculpture. His travels span Norway above the Arctic Circle to the rainforests of Hawaii and the jungles of Sri Lanka. His work has appeared in numerous magazines, books, and corporate collections.
