Elk Prairie, Prairie Creek Redwoods State and National Park, is south of Crescent City California – north of Eureka. I have a lot of work there, two large commissions in the visitor center museum, many roadside panels, lots of printed products in the non-profit store (posters, puzzles, books – you name it).
So, when the State of California asked if I was interested in doing another one for an interpretive exhibit, I jumped at the chance. I have this legacy-thing going there and want it to continue. Big opening night for the mural installation is mid-June, 2008.
Commissioned by the Crater Lake Institute, this is the second mural I’ve painted of Crater Lake. I think I now have that “blue” figured out. Puzzles, cards and posters coming in summer of 2008 so stay tuned.
Whitebark Pines in the West are in serious trouble, thanks to a pathogen unleashed by us (of course it’s US, isn’t ALL of this mess because of US).
Commissioned by the Crater Lake Institute in cooperation with the Whitebark Pine Ecosystem Foundation, this mural shows the interwoven lives of all that depend on this tree species. Grizzlies, squirrles, birds and all in peril as well.
Currently, a large format poster installation is being installed in the Grand Targhee National Forest of this image, as well as puzzles and posters coming in summer 2008.
