Locals Only: Laura Cunningham-Goodrow
Local artist whips up "sweet and sour" creations.
Unable to find the right decorative accents for her daughter’s room, artist Laura Cunningham-Goodrow simply designed her own. Her cheery, whimsical, personalized artwork is now produced under the Sweet and Sour Handmade Creations banner (mysweetandsour.com). With a unique visual style and several themes to choose from for children of all ages, the line goes way beyond anything you’d find in a Pottery Barn Kids catalogue.
Places in Encinitas where she finds artistic inspiration: Anywhere along the coast, Lux Art Institute.
Favorite meal at a local restaurant: Chicken Soup Texcoco style from Jorge's.
Last purchase made in Encinitas: Mini cupcakes at Elizabethan Bakery.
Ideal Encinitas day: Start with a latte and scone at Pannikin, visit San Diego Botanic Gardens with my kid, and then go watch the sunset at the beach.
Favorite civic organizations: YMCA, Boys & Girls Club.
Favorite local business: Trader Joe's.
Favorite Encinitas event: Classic Car Night.
Best thing about living in Encinitas: The relaxed atmosphere.
The one thing you’d like to change about the city: Keep it the way it is.
A place in Encinitas more locals should visit: The meditation gardens at Self-Realization Fellowship.
How would you dress up the Cardiff Kook: As the Surfing Madonna.
Best place in the city to watch the sunset: Moonlight Beach.
