All Saints parishioner and resident artist Gregory Michael (Mike) Hernandez, spent three years performing weekly runs from the entrance gates of Eaton Canyon to the waterfall and back. More
than just exercise, it was intentional ritual and engagement, taking the same path culminating in a dip at the falls – his own personal baptism’.
Last year he finished a series of 8 paintings of his favorite spots on the trail. He wanted to record the landscape as it looked in a particular moment in time, knowing it would eventually change. He
photographed each painting like a trail sign in situ. After 305 runs, the Eaton Fire abruptly put a halt to the ritual. Mike will exhibit the 8 paintings outside on the courtyard grass at All Saints, and share his experience and reflections within the framework: “Life Lessons from Eaton Canyon”.
