California is filled with such geographic diversity, from soaring mountains to deep valleys and from deserts to farmland. Our social demographics are extremely varied. I like to look at the myriad problems the state has, such as overpopulation, growth of suburbs and vineyards, to loss of tax revenue. A little humor can bring some light onto these problems. I am presently interested in the virgin redwood forests and logging in particular. I hope my artwork will engage people in dialogue about how to preserve the redwoods we have left and I hope it encourages them to visit and enjoy the forests as much as they can.
