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
Among The Trees
Trees keep their own kind of time. They stand witness to seasons passing, roots unseen, branches marking the slow architecture of time. The photographs in this exhibition explore that steadiness, the way trees hold their ground even as light, weather, and season transform everything around them. Through the lenses of three photographers drawn to the trees they know best, Among the Trees is an invitation to slow down, admire their beauty, and look more closely at what has been there all along.
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.

Heather Summerz
Heather has been exploring California landscapes all of her life. Currently, she is intrigued with reflections and fog, which she features in her photographs at every opportunity. She finds the atmospheric obscurity that fog introduces transformative and is fascinated with the beautiful blur and allure of reflections. Heather hopes to introduce an emotive component to her work, promoting a lingering effect that allows for the interplay of personal associations. Ideally, this reflective pause will engage the viewer in a temporal relationship, thereby becoming an integral part of the creative process.
