Karen Brown’s Travel Guides are recognized as the most personable and reliable guides to the Inns and Bed and Breakfasts of Europe, United States and Mexico. For many travelers, Filoli has been a destination while visiting California and we hope to encourage our visitors to experience new exciting places through this beautiful exhibit. As the cover artist for the Karen Brown Travel Guides, Jann Pollard has completed 138 beautiful paintings of inspiring destinations. This special exhibit will display 54 of those paintings, enabling our visitors to vicariously travel the globe, purchase a painting of their favorite destination or one they wish to visit and be inspired to see new places. This is a very special opportunity, exclusively made to Filoli, it’s visitors and members. If however, you are unable to personally visit the show and would like to purchase a painting, please contact jannpollard@mac.com for additional information.

I love your paintings! A friend of mine has taken classes from you at Filoli, where I volunteer as a “weeder and raker” in the gardens on Mondays. Now I want to take a class from you, so shall head to the Filoli website to see if you are teaching any at Filoli this year. I’m so glad my friend recommended that I check out this display.

I’ve enjoyed your paintings & Karen Brown’s itineraries & places to stay very much. Most recently 4 of us were delighted with Jeak’s House & the town of Rye, GB! Looking forward to meeting you at Filoli on Saturday.
