More about the exhibit, "Main Street, Then & Now" :
As the Main Street of Willits is no longer a thoroughfare for Highway 101 traffic since the November 2016 completion of the bypass, profound change is once again underway--making this the perfect time to step back and examine its history. The exhibit is rich in both photos and text. Visitors can stroll the length of the Long Gallery and recreate the feel of Main Street past, as it transformed from a Pomo trail to a booming lumber town to an important railway connection with a plethora of hotels, before becoming the uniquely vibrant and creative community it is today.
The Mendocino County Museum is at 400 East Commercial St. in Willits. The Museum is open Wed. through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, please call 459-2736 or visit www.MendocinoMuseum.org.

"Art is my life. It is what gets me up in the morning and what I think about before I go to bed. I could spend all my days painting and creating. Our beautiful countryside in Mendocino County constantly inspires me. As I stop and look around me, I think: Can I capture that sunlit glow, or paint a tree with those dramatic long shadows? Can I express with paint the softness of the fog that rests in the valleys below our home each morning?"
I received my B.A. in Art, with an emphasis in painting, from San Jose State University. I have studied watercolor and fabric design for many years at Mendocino College and the Mendocino Art Center. I was awarded Best of Show for my painting entered in the Second Annual Animal Exhibition at the Mendocino Art Center, and I have received several awards for my paintings exhibited at the yearly WASCO Aqua Areas juried Watercolor Exhibition. For over twenty years I have taught art in all the schools in the Willits area, and eight years at Mendocino College. In 2009 I was honored as the Mendocino County Art Champion in the category of Artist. Each year, this honor is given to an artist who demonstrates artistic excellence in their chosen discipline, and shows a commitment to strengthening their community by using their artistic accomplishments to benefit the wider community. I am currently teaching watercolor classes at Mendocino College and painting at River Oak Charter School in Ukiah.
