News & Events

I'm excited to say, that along with my nature columns in the Napa Valley Register and Lake County News, I am co-writing an Ethnobotany column for the magazine, News From Native California!

I'm delighted that my essay and photo shoot of Anderson Marsh State Historic Park is featured in issue eight of Senior Hiker Magazine!

My  5-foot tall stoneware pottery and wood sculpture, "Drops of Water- the Elixir of  Life" has been placed in the Middletown Art Center's Art In Dialogue With Nature Show.  The show runs at MAC  June 2019 to September 2019.

Nothing like a hike at Napa Valley's Bothe State Park with the knowledgeable folks from the California Native Plant Society!

Met up with the wonderful team at Kelseyville's new store, A + H. Sabrina and Bonnie purchased lots of my stoneware pottery for their lovely business on Main Street.

I attended some  inspiring photography workshops and hikes at beautiful Jack London State Historic Park. Great tips and breathtaking scenery!

I love my membership in the oldest writing group in California, Redwood Writers, a branch of the California Writers Club.

What a wonderful way to start the New Year by receiving the news that my haiku poetry "CREEK IN FALL, FROST MELTING and WATER STRIDER", have been selected for publication in the Redwood Writers Anthology for 2019!

The Mendocino Coast Writer's Conference (August 2018) was inspiring and invigorating! I was lucky enough to rub elbows with Vanessa Hua and other great writers, all while in the majesty that is the Mendocino coast!

On May 6, 2018 I visited the wild Napa River with the Resource Conservation District and saw many of the native fish they caught and released!
