Away to See: Martha's Vineyard

“Away to See captures beautifully the flow of summer days and nights and the ebbtide that brings it to an end. It is the perfect book to give to a summer visitor, as a remembrance, or to someone thinking of coming here. These intimate verses and evocative illustrations play together perfectly to create a vivid portrait of what it means to live here in the summer months, and why so many families come here year after year.” * The Martha’s Vineyard Times *
“In this book, the images are iconic Vineyard … and Liz Norwood’s reflective writing adds a lyrical quality” * Martha’s Vineyard Magazine *
“An alluring, poetry-infused art book, Away to See captures the laid-back atmosphere and sense of belonging found on Martha’s Vineyard…” * Foreword Reviews *

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.
