Mudd Nature Preserve - Joyce Gia Trinh.

“Joyce can be seen plein air painting all over San Diego County and at special cultural events such as the Tule Boat Launch at Crown Point, Wetland Festival at Mission Bay marshland, and the Lunar New Year celebration. Joyce loves to paint natural habitats but has taken it one step further and created her own habitat by converting her hot tub into a natural pond which is filled by rainwater."

Contemporary Sanctuary – Shelly Madruga.

Shelly's work draws inspiration from nature and the balance between color, light and shadow.”
