"I am a huge fan of the BayWood Artists and the important contributions they make to our appreciation of the Bay Area's magnificent open space heritage and to our determination to enhance and preserve it for generations to come.  Through their evocative art, they help us see our landscape with fresh eyes.  Through their generous support of local conservation organizations, they help us protect the very scenes they paint.  Each of the BayWood Artists portrays our environment in wonderfully different ways, but they are all bound by common threads of affection for the nature of our home and for its daily needs to be nurtured by us all."
