Transformative Fields

July 1, 2022

Blooming in all their glory, the pride and joy of California abounds as summer's sun shines on. Shine with it, you wonderful unique human. California Natives featured: Baby Blue Eyes, Prairie Mallow / California Checker Bloom, and Coulter's Matilija Poppy My third work in the Cali Pride series represents the Trans Flag as a field of tall California Wildflowers. It is no longer June, but the work to protect people’s rights continues on. Trans folks have had a long struggle for their rights, which has become more threatening since the Trump presidency. From difficulties adjusting an ID to reflect your gender, to anti-trans bathroom bills, to investigating families seeking gender-affirming care for their trans children, and now using the Roe v. Wade overturning to argue for banning transitioning medication… it is a hard time to be trans. So what can you do? First, VOTE IN NOVEMBER. MAKE NOISE. Educate yourself about how issues affect different groups, listen to people from those groups, and help others educate themselves too. This kind of harm CANNOT continue. To my Trans siblings, you deserve the world. I hope this artwork conveys the deep respect I have for you and your truth. I’ll keep fighting for you.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.

If you've ever lived in California, you know nothing gets us more excited than avocados. We'll put it on our toast, our burgers, our salads, or mash it into that delicious green paste known as guac. These stickers are made of vinyl, so they are water resistant. The material has vibrant color and a semi-gloss finish. Each sticker is approximately 5" inches tall. This large size makes them ideal for sticking them to your vehicle, water bottle, cooler/ice chest, toolbox, laptop, toaster/fridge, or just about anywhere else so you can show off your Cali pride!
