Exploring BELONGING and the value of people to community. Questioning everything and following my curiosity.
West of Lincoln Project
The West of Lincoln Project has given me the inspiration to continue working on the book I’ve been writing about the women in my family, “Amazon Women of The South”
The BELONGING project gives a voice and perspective of the Nisenan Indians, the Native Americans who were here for countless generations before the California gold rush. This project will help raise visibility and awareness of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe.
Participating in BELONGING allowed me to share how I connect children with nature, land, and bring a sense of belonging to a place.
“You are turning being a member of our town into an art. I can’t wait to see the progress and participate in BELONGING. This is one of my favorite ways of belonging here!!
The West of Lincoln painting series pays tribute to a population of people who shaped the history of an untamed community, while preserving their historic significance.
