“…I think his spring orchard canvasses are going to travel well through time, both forward and backward too. The transcendentalist in Thoreau would recognize the almost astral field their energies set up – as if the stars came out in daylight.”

“…Stuppin’s paintings produce a serotonin rush of pleasure. In part this comes from the kind of naivete or innocence they embody, and in part comes from their visual richness. But there is more at work on these surfaces. Stuppin employs a series of compositional strategies-rhythmic patterns and careful juxtapositions of color-calculated to capture and reveal the essential unifying principals of the natural world. The paintings provide us with a sense of sacredness inherent in each moment and each place, to which we are invited, along with the artist, to feel, to contemplate, and to revere.” Miriam Roberts, Santa Fe
Dean’s Hill
MARTY RANCH Meacham Hill, California
Dean Marty’s 223 acre cattle ranch on Meacham Hill sits in a prominent location along one-half mile of Highway 101 between the cities of Petaluma and Cotati. The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District protected this scenic “Community Separator” property through a perpetual conservation easement in 1992. It was the first transaction carried out by the District. Thousands of highway travelers pass this beautiful grassy property day. From its rock addled summit, 360 scenic views of the surrounding countryside abound.
The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District was formed in 1990 by a vote of the people of Sonoma County to help halt the growing loss of farmland and natural scenic landscapes in the County. By the end of 1998 the District had protected over 11 properties totaling 28,000 acres. For more information contact the District at (707) 524-7360

Duck’s Head Estero Americano
Duck’s Head, Estero Americano
Sonoma Land Trust’s 127 acre Estero Americano Preserve, along the Pacific Flyway, is considered one of the most important areas along the Northern California coast. The Preserve’s fjord-like slopes and fragile wetlands host abundant wildlife: bat rays forage the mud flats as eagles and hawks hunt the brushy uplands. The Land Trust purchased 87 acres in 1996 with funding assistance from the California State Coastal Conservancy and Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District, and added another 40 acres in 2001. Our land stewardship provides for both carefully managed traditional grazing and ecological restoration of the land.
