Corona Flora third in series
 After presenting Corona Gaia at Many Rivers Books & Tea & Corona Fauna at Coffee Catz, I wrote my thirdcrown of sonnets, Corona Flora. Corona Gaia explores the medicine that artists & poets can bring to ecological healing. Corona Fauna presents wild & domestic animals as subjects with their own unique experience. Corona Flora describes a series of plants as conscious beings in relationship to plants, animals, & environmental conditions around them.
All three are available as illustrated, hand-bound chapbooks at Sebastopol Gallery.

As we look forward to this year's offerings, we welcome new participants in learning about the Native history of our area, & building bridges of reconciliation.

What Now
On Monday, October 10, at noon, Janey Hirsh & I appeared on Ken Rose's show, talking about this year's Pomo Honoring Month. It is available as a podcast on his site.
Las May, I had the pleasure of being Ken Rose’s guest on his stimulating talk show on KOWS. He led me through tidbits about my artistic purpose, affinity for Native people, desires for an ecological paradigm, & even specific paintings he had me bring to the studio. You can listen to the interview as a podcast.

 Salmonid Restoration Federation
Since the Salmonid Restoration Federation opened their new office in downtown Garberville, they’ve featured ten of my salmon paintings. SRF & I have been allies for a long time, & I love having my salmon where salmon-lovers can love them.
