Sunshine Keeps Me Happy – Blenda Tyvoll
The Apple Tree – Claudia Breese
Throughout cultural history, humankind has used nature and specifically trees, to express feelings about life and self in relation to the World. The visual arts, poetry and music have been vehicles for that reflection. This presentation by Blenda Tyvoll and Claudia Breese uses paintings in an effort to express the beauty of nature and the history of humankind through universal symbols.

Claudia is a graduate of Northridge State University in painting and art history. She taught art history in Yosemite. She was an art docent at the Oakland Museum and an art curator for the Flora Lamson Hewlett Library at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. Her work has been in exhibits in Portland, Berkeley and theological seminaries throughout the United States. She is a member of CIVA (Christians in the Visual Arts.)
