| Title: Water Series: Valley Salad Bowl |
| Dimensions: 12 x 12 inches |
| Artist Statement: The San Joaquin Valley in Central California was once a desert. Water has been imported from the northern parts of the state and from other states to turn this desert into a fertile farming valley where a large percentage of the United States' fresh produce is grown. Each year more salts are leached out of the soil and eventually the entire valley will be unsuitable for agriculture. |
| Materials and Techniques: Original photographs, handmade paper, handpainted silks, layered using polyurethane. |
