Transmuting Emotive Energy Through Art

This painting utilizes earth paints made from volcanic
pumice from Mt. Shasta in conjunction with a variety of
other paints. In this work I attempted to reengergize my
art with earth from a sacred place. The pigment used here
was gathered on the McCloud side of the mountain.

MODOC ROCK ART, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

Tule Lake used to be much larger than it is today.

Thousands of years ago many of the rock promontories

in the desert north of the Modoc Lava Beds were islands

in the lake.
