Inspiration

“Creekspirit” is the name given to the property owned by artist Patti Jacquemain and located at 1000 Mission Canyon Road in Santa Barbara , California. The gardens and the centerpiece structure, the Dome of the Great Bear, are her personal creations and epitomize the essence of her creativity.

The grounds comprise approximately three acres in the heart of Mission Canyon adjacent to Mission Creek. Mission Creek was the original watersource for Mission Santa Barbara, founded in 1786, and a portion of the historic stone aqueduct that carried water down to the mission is on the Creekspirit property.
