Why I make art, #4

Reason #4: It shows off Tulare County.

My art provides a way to share beautiful places and moments of time with others. This is a natural thing – aren’t you just dying to tell someone or show someone or lend a book or see a movie with someone else? Me too. (You should have seen me running down the street to share the book “The Help” with my neighbor!)

And, living in Tulare County with its bad rep, I feel an obligation to share the good parts with those of us who are “trapped” here. Sharing our beautiful spots helps our self-esteem as a county. It helps our self-esteem as residents of this place (“You live there? WHY???”)

  1. You are right, Donna! Let them stay in the cities so we remain rural and somewhat uncrowded.

  2. I agree Tulare County has a bad rep. I’ve had folks say the same thing – “you live here? Why!” but I don’t necessarily want them to think otherwise. More peaches, tomatoes, strawberries,… for me!
