Hometown-inspired art — Bishop’s School graduate Natalia Wrobel will display a La Jolla-inspired exhibit at the new Strand Salon. Although Wrobel’s permanent studio remains on the East Coast (she studied art at Dartmouth and in Florence, Italy), all of the paintings in her “Sunwalk Series” exhibit are inspired by the sand, sea and energy of California living. The exhibit will be on display at the salon, 909 Prospect St., until summer. For more information, visit www.nataliaswrobel.com.
