Plumas Arts Features Susan Henderson |
|
|
Plumas Arts is pleased to announce a gallery opening reception Friday September 6th from 5pm to 7pm at 525 Main Street in Quincy.
For the month of September, the Plumas Arts Gallery is featuring the work of Susan Henderson.
"My art thrives from the beauty on Earth. Using acrylics, resin, inks, and gold leaf, I strive to capture the divine light that illuminates our world. Each piece begins with a spiritual journey, as I let my heart lead me and follow a path of faith. This internal guidance helps me select subject matter that speaks to my soul.
Drawn by interplay of light, the unique perspectives of various layouts, and the changing seasons, I find endless inspiration in the life present within nature. There is no life without light, and this fundamental truth is what propels my creative process. My faith not only guides my choice of subjects, but also draws my heart inward, allowing it to connect deeply with each scene I create.
Before touching the canvas, I pray, inviting a sense of serenity and focus. As I pour out my spirit into the subject, my main objective is to make sure that the light within the piece reflects my inner essence, while the shadows enhance its depth. Texture plays a crucial role in my work, adding a tactile dimension that brings my vision to life. This unique approach ensures that each artwork is a reflection of my soul, merging light and shadow, spirit and substance."
Come by the Plumas Arts Gallery during regular hours to view the artwork. The gallery is open Wednesday through Friday 11am-5pm and Saturday 10am-4pm. |

Insurance Commissioner Lara Invites Public Input on Final Phase of New Wildfire Modeling Regulation |
|
|
In a California “first,” insurance companies will write more policies in wildfire distressed areas
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara is inviting public input as he begins the final phase of approving a “first of its kind” catastrophe modeling and ratemaking regulation that will help restore options for all Californians and prepare for the reality of climate change. Today, the Office of Administrative Law published the regulation online, marking the beginning of a public comment period that will conclude with a hearing convened by Commissioner Lara on September 17. The regulation has received strong public support in two previous public meetings the Department has held.
Today’s announcement marks the latest step to enacting Commissioner Lara’s Sustainable Insurance Strategy to safeguard the integrity of the state’s insurance market -- keeping California on track for a December 2024 goal of enacting the state’s largest insurance reform in over 30 years.
“Climate change is affecting every part of our lives, making insurance harder to find and more costly for those at the greatest risk. With climate-driven mega-fires burning across the state, it is clear that relying on decades-old regulations only hurts our ability to prepare for the future,” said Commissioner Lara. “My strategy will help modernize our marketplace, restoring options for consumers while safeguarding the independent, transparent review of rate filings by my Department’s rate regulation experts.”
The regulation posted today details the commitments that insurance companies must make in future rate filings to write more policies in wildfire distressed areas as a condition for using wildfire catastrophe modeling to more accurately assess wildfire risks they will write. The regulation also provides for the public review of models used in ratemaking, as required under California law. This marks two “firsts” for the state’s regulation of insurance rates: The first time insurance companies will commit to cover higher risk homes in wildfire distressed areas, and the first use of forward-looking wildfire catastrophe modeling.
