Ghost Ranch
“…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

“…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.”

Learned Ranch
McCORMICK (LEARNED) RANCH East Sonoma County, California
The 1,750 acre McCormick Ranch located northeast of Santa Rosa has been in the McCormick (Learned) family for six generations and permanently protected in cooperation with the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District in 1996. This spectacular natural preserve was added to Sugarloaf Ridge State Park and is managed by the non-profit land stewardship organization ‘Landpaths’. The family’ wishes made it possible to allow public recreational and educational uses on 1,101 acres of land. The agreement with the District also limits development on the 350 remaining private acres of the ranch in Sonoma County. The property includes ridgelines over 2000 feet in elevation to deep canyons encompassing the Headwaters of Santa Rosa Creek. Heritage maples, oaks and madrones dot the scenic landscape.
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
