Obi Kaufmann at the Henry Miller Memorial Library


May 14, 2022 | 3:00 pm 5:00 pm

Join artist-adventurer and best-selling author Obi Kaufmann as he discusses his new opus, The Coasts of California.

Naturalist, poet-painter, and acclaimed author Obi Kaufmann’s new book takes readers on an odyssey from the rocky coast of Crescent City to the mosaic of the Channel Islands.

The book, which features over 400 of the author’s signature watercolors and maps, explores where most of the human population of the state lives and where its natural world is most threatened while painting a vision for a more sustainable future along the way.
