Hello friends,
It’s been 39 years since we found each other at a Club Med in Mexico, and our passion for the beach and globetrotting has only grown. Russ, with over 60 years of styling and snipping, and I, with two decades of nurturing creativity through my after-school and summer art classes in San Clemente, have cherished these years. Our five wonderful grandchildren are the joy of our lives. The Spanish architecture and the rich tapestry of history in San Clemente have captured our hearts. We’re on a mission to explore every corner of the globe!
And there’s more! The Artists Penthouse reflects our unwavering passion for art. It serves as a canvas for both local artists’ works and our own personal pieces. Each brushstroke, each sculpture, and every stroke of creativity adds to the vibrant tapestry of our lives.
Happy Trails,
Lisa and Russell Parks
