Aug. 15, 2025
Lynn Doran, a native Californian, began her life of adventure and creativity in the 1950s, traveling with her parents whose curiosity led them deep into Mexico, pulling a travel-trailer. Leaving college with a degree in Fine Arts, Lynn immediately started her own company, “Natty,” designing and manufacturing women’s specialized ski accessories, as well as more youthfully contemporary tennis and golf attire. Success allowed Lynn to leave the world of business and start traveling the world, photographically documenting, selectively collecting artifacts and turning her lifelong-interest into a major motivating factor in her life.Travel serves Lynn as a stimulant and her creative themes express themselves through ceramic sculpture, printmaking and photography. |

John has had a successful business career as a management consultant, entrepreneur and early-stage investor (with five of his investments earning between 256x and 1478x). One of his companies introduced the world’s first side blindspot detection radar for cars, and that company grew from $0 to $700 million in revenue in eight years. As a photographer, he travels extensively to remote locations and specializes in wildlife and landscape photography; locally, he’s won the grand prize in the Palos Verdes Photography contest twice. |
