I strolled through the Castroville Cemetery and found a gate at the back - there were stray kitties, a skunk and some gorgeous paintings on the gate and garage doors. I kept walking up Pieri St and met more kitties and artwork, finally arriving at Nancy Russell's house which is just amazing. I love the messages, the colors and the vibrant/primitive style. Definitely worth a walking tour.

One cannot walk by this place & not smile! My friend & I stayed down the street for 3 days last month & walked by there twice every day. Each time we had to stop & check out all the different whimsical art work, discovering things we missed on the earlier walks! We dropped off a couple of books in the adorable little library which had a wide selection for everybody. If you are visiting Moss Landing this studio is a must see! There are even postcards you can take of the adorable house to send to friends or family! You will definitely smile!

EYECANDY YARD ART HOUSE If you are close to Castroville (artichoke capital of the world) or Monterrey and you want to see some "eye candy" and be uplifted and smile a lot. Nancy's 1925 Sears kit house on Pieri CT is worth the stop. It is practically on the shores of this small town (dot on the map). There is so much to look at I didn't know where to start. It is whimsical, colorful and and creativity is abound here and is an ever changing piece of art..yes, the whole house and garden is whimsy art! . She also holds a yearly art and crafts show, should you want local art from artisans from Monterey to Santa Cruz counties, you'll be glad you sought out this event-(mlartscrafts.weekly.com) Moss Landing Arts and Crafts SHOW. Special handmade ceramics, metal art, driftwood creations, unusual succulent garden designs, baskets, yard art and "fun art" etc. is waiting for you. Not sure if it will happen during Covid though. This will be a memorable and "non touristy" worthwhile excursion to a small idyllic beach community.
