My heart goes out to the victims of the California wildfires, the worst in recorded history. Gratitude to the hotshots, pilots, and all those fighting the flames. Gratitude to the communities of people helping those who have lost everything. So much of my life as an artist was built and took place in beautiful California, first in San Francisco, but mostly in Los Angeles and Malibu. Wildfires are a way of life in California, but I am stunned by the recent severity of the fires that have taken lives and property. May everyone find safety, and may everyone recover as much and as soon as possible.
