The Historic Stockton Coloring Book Project- Get Your Copy Today!
This project began in 2019 with four grant funded coloring pages created for Stockton Arts Week. The 2022 series of images are all restaurants lost to time and progress in the city of Stockton, California.
​
As of 2024 I have received a grant from Stockton Arts Commission to complete a further 12 scenes and 5 related paintings. It will also cover at least 2000 copies of the final product to be given to elementary school children in Stockton as well as some colored pencils for the kids who can't afford them. If you are interested in hearing updates as they happen about this project, or want to sponsor a classroom please sign up to my mailing list.
