Meet this week’s Featured Artist
Welcome to our Newest Artist
For many years now, the Santa Cruz SPCA , a non-profit and no-kill shelter, has been
run from a small house built in the 1930’s. The roof leaks, the plumbing is problematic,
and the original electrical wiring continually requires work.
Staff members and little dogs greet visitors in what was once the tiny living
room where desks are huddled between walls lined with dog crates. The tiny bedrooms
are now cat rooms and offices, and stacks of supplies overflow from every nook and
cranny. The tiny bathroom is used for grooming and sometimes as an isolation room.
Yes, “tiny” is the operative word for the entire facility, including the dogs--the
lack of space severely limits both the number and size of animals that can be rescued,
and they cannot accept big dogs.

Artist, teacher and published author, current Executive Director of the Santa Cruz
Art League, and winner of the 2011 Gail Rich Award for his work in the arts community,
T. Mike Walker is an accomplished artist in several media, but currently focuses
his artistry and light-hearted humor on the creation of mixed media collage, and
offers here a small collection of abstracts and amusing scenes, many featuring our
favorite animal friends.
Susan Cartwright brings new life to an art form first implemented in the 1600’s--the
art of the monotype, a printmaking process which yields just one print. Her charming
miniatures are delicately drawn in ink on a copper plate, and printed on Oriental
rag, or gold paper. Welcome, Susan!
