A colourful jump of joy with Kathleen Gratz in Palm Springs

Kathleen Gratz photographed by Eyoalha Baker for Jump for Joy Photo Project and Palm Springs Cultural Center Artist Residency

I’ve been admiring the beautiful architecture of Arrive Hotel everytime I drive by so when Kathleen didn’t have a location in mind for her jump, this was the place to do it. Kathleen was so lovely and I appreciate so much that she put so much care into choosing her colourful wardrobe and that she came out to share her joy with us. I LOVE he beautiful colours of the rusted metal with the turquoise blue of Kathleen’s dress, and the dash of red from her scarf against the blue sky. Beautiful.
