A poetic and painterly tribute to Martha's Vineyard, Away to See captures the beauty, stillness, and spirit of this iconic coastal destination through lyrical prose and vibrant, full-color paintings.

With 46 original works by Paul Norwood and reflective vignettes by Liz Norwood, this contemplative gift book invites readers to pause, reflect, and truly see. It's the first in a series that lives at the intersection of art, travel, and mindfulness--offering sensory journeys through beloved places around the world.

Longtime summer residents Paul and Liz share their favorite island experiences and illuminate its slower, quieter side: the astonishing seascapes, the spirit of community, and the joy found in everyday details.

Paul Norwood, who grew up on the coast of Maine, decided early on that he'd rather paint the sea than fish from it. After a long career as an advertising art director and creative director, he now devotes all his time to painting. In the past twenty-five years, Paul has developed a national client base and has exhibited his work in galleries and art fairs from Boston to San Francisco--and many places in between. He is currently represented by five galleries and is in the private collections of Sir Richard Branson and President Obama. Paul and his wife raised their two kids in Mill Valley, California, where they enjoy hiking the trails of Mt. Tam, roaming the streets of San Francisco, and strolling the sands of Stinson Beach.

Liz Norwood, a San Francisco Bay Area native, is a freelance editor and writer specializing in sustainability, wellness, travel and culture. She has a soft spot for people making the world better and more beautiful--from organic food companies to social justice nonprofits, artists and authors.
