Lifestyle: What's New    
           Meet the Artists  

The rolling hills and ocean coves of Palos Verdes have attracted artists for decades. Twenty-two of those artists talked to Stephen Smoke about their education, inspiration, and approach to art for his book, Palos Verdes Peninsula Artists (MS Publishing, 2005, $32.95; 310-791-5215). Full-color reproductions showcase high-caliber work in a wide range of media and styles, from impressionistic landscapes to abstract collage.
