His work is often very modern and color seems to jump off the canvas.; Esther Tupas of of the “Miwua- Washoe” tribe does beautiful work, painting and beading gourds. Esther learned this skill from David Snooks. She resides in Marysville; June Smith, a resident of the Ridge, sculpts in clay and will display work related to Native American people in the show; Barbara Anne Ramsey, who also lives on the Ridge, has been a professional artist for 40 years.

Build your legacy: Make a gift to the futureRemember the Gold Nugget and Paradise Depot Museums The Gold Nugget and the Paradise Depot Museums preserve the past for the present and the future. The repository of the treasures and memories of the Paradise Ridge, the Museums are home to exhibits and programs that educate and delight everyone who visits. As an independent non-profit corporation, the Museums rely on support of the community to survive. The past and future need YOU. One of the easiest ways to give to the Museums is in your will or trust. You can do so through the Paradise Community Foundation or by working with your personal estate planner. Your heirs receive the tax benefits, while the Museums are able to continue with their mission of preserving the history of the ridge for future generations to enjoy.
