"I follow straws in the wind, and that's how I came to Mendocino. A
friend of mine from art school, whom I hadn't seen for twenty five
years, recommended me to Bill Zacha. I was busy, so I recommended
Hilda Pertha to Bill, and she came...later I taught a summer course at
the Art Center and fell in love with the place. All the wood, for
example, really excited me, the wonderful gray wooden fences. I did a
whole series of close-ups of the wood, all the grains and knotholes, and
when it was shown in San Francisco, it sold out. The very tempo of
living here has influenced my art. I think there is a magic in this
place, something very special that people call a kind of 'power center'..." - Dorr Bothwell, Arts &
Entertainment Magazine, Mendocino, California, May 1989
