Farm to Fork and the Plate on My Easel: Grandma Moses meets Mother Funk

Sacramento’s Farm-to-Fork Festival is scheduled for September 26th, and I just realized that I will be unable to make it. I had hoped to spend the day tasting my way through the annual festival and establishing connections with the farmers from my region whose lifestyle is the focal point of my artwork. I’m like a modern day Grandma Moses but instead of painting on fire boards, some of my work is done on paper plates.

Passing Shot: Driving in the Sierras

I never would have guessed that Disc Golf would become one of my favorite outdoor recreational activities, but it has. My partner has been playing the sport for over 20 years and is, in part, responsible for getting me hooked. That’s me in the photo throwing a backhand drive down the fairway of hole 12 on the Sierra College course in Truckee. There are an estimated 233 courses in the state of California, and over 4000 registered courses in the United States according to the Disc Golf Association. It is doubtful that I will play all of them, but I am certain that I will have fun trying.
