Nourish Your Roots: My Foggy Woods Series of Cyanotype Landscapes
Being among trees has brought me happiness ever since childhood. Hiking among them on silent foggy mornings has been a great comfort to me since losing my husband in 2022.
I grew up next to Golden Gate Park, feeding squirrels that ran down from the trees and I climbed up the trees myself. At 10, I won a disposable camera and shot the whole first roll of nothing but the trees on my grandparents’ land. Without trees, there would be no oxygen and no life on earth. Trees are vital to life, to slowing climate change, and to mental health. People forget they are more than beautiful.
This exhibition’s theme is “Nourish Your Roots.” Though I now live in the Oakland hills, my roots are in San Francisco. I learned to swim at this very Jewish Community Center on California St. Trees live much longer than us, silently saving the world without being asked. There is nothing more optimistic than planting a tree. The exhibition’s opening is near the Jewish holiday Tu Bishvat, a day to plant trees and care for the earth that makes all life possible.

Root Division Annual Auction
Proceeds from the auction go to Root Division in downtown San Francisco, a non-profit that connects creativity and community through a dynamic ecosystem of free and affordable arts education, exhibitions, and art studios. The organization was founded in 2002 as a sustainable arts hub that would constructively address the main challenges facing Bay Area emerging artists: need for low-cost studio space, exhibition opportunities, and arts-related professional experience.
Giving back to the community is singular to our unique model where artists receive subsidized studio space in exchange for training and volunteering their time to do everything from teaching art classes to adults and low-income youth to organizing exhibitions.
