Midori Kai, Inc., a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation, founded in September 1996 and incorporated in 2000. Midori Kai was established to create an effective organization comprised of Japanese American professional women leaders with various business and creative backgrounds; who are committed to community involvement, supporting local nonprofit organizations, mentoring youth, and celebrating our Japanese American heritage. Prior to incorporation in 2000, while defining our future, our founding Directors framed our mission to bring together women leaders to create and build networks, to heighten mindfulness, to build meaningful relationships, to be champions of dialogue, learning, and to serve for the common good. On November 12, 1996, founding Directors approached Reverend Bunyu Fujimura, Reverend Ejitsu Hojo and Reverend Junjo Tsumura, retired ministers, requesting possible names for our newly formed organization. They suggested “Midori Kai”. In Japanese, Midori translates to “evergreen” or “everlasting” and Kai means “organization.” Our founding Directors agreed this name was very fitting for the new organization.

House of Light, Coastal Reflections from on High and Down Low, Jane Casner Mothersill and jewelry by Ling-Yen Jones
2025-09-06 10:00 - 2025-12-08 15:30 | 45500 Lighthouse Road Point Arena, CA 95468, 45500 Lighthouse Road, Point Arena, CA, 95468, United States
The opening reception for Jane Casner Mothersill’s gallery exhibit “House of Light, Coastal Reflections From On High and Down Low” is Saturday, September 6, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served. Jewelry by Ling-Yen Jones is also on display. The exhibit will remain on display through December 7, 2025.
Artist Statement:
I would describe my art as “inspired realism” – interpretations and visual expression emanating from my interaction with nature, people, cultures, and ideas. While unequivocally representational, I work to convey broader messages in its execution, seeking to elicit emotional and intellectual responses from the viewer. Concepts such as truth, beauty, and conflict, as well as temporal and cultural elements, underpin my work, which encompasses oil, pastel, charcoal, and mixed media paintings and terra cotta and bronze sculptures.
My landscape paintings are completed substantially on site, where I can feel the intimacy of nature and the confluence of elements that impact one’s perception of their surroundings. My still lives, which are undertaken primarily in my studio, are often symbolic in conveying a sense of beauty that lies in the world within – occasionally incorporating diverse and culturally specific elements in telling their stories. My figurative works tend to be emotional, conveying feelings of or toward my subject.
In the Whale Watch Gallery, I will be displaying a number of works I have undertaken at the Point Arena Lighthouse specifically for this exhibit, including paintings completed both from the lighthouse tower and in the surrounding environs. The microclimate of the lighthouse point provided various weather experiences on the days I was painting, resulting in different atmospheres and moods as the light and shadows changed. I endeavored to capture these unique and fleeting moments in each of my paintings. I have worked mostly in pastels for this exhibit, which are ideal for Plein Aire painting on site, but I have also included two oil paintings, which were finished in my studio.
My development as a practicing artist has been inexorably tied to my life arc and experiences. After graduating from Georgetown University, I moved to the Philippines, where I began pursuing Chinese brush painting. Upon my return to the US, I studied painting, drawing, and sculpture full-time at the Art Students League of New York and, subsequently, was awarded a full merit scholarship to attend the Graduate School of Figurative Art at the New York Academy, where I received an MFA in painting and sculpture in 1990. My education has also included studying with a wide range of practicing artists, both in the US and overseas. While living in Tokyo and Hong Kong from 1990 to 2005, I renovated an old house in a small village in the Loire Valley, boasting a significant international artist community where I would spend summers painting. I have participated in over 50 exhibitions in the US, Japan, Hong Kong, France, and the Philippines, including 10 solo shows, and have received numerous awards for my work.
I live full-time at Sea Ranch, CA. Since relocating from Marin County in 2018, and have enjoyed becoming an active participant in the local art community. In 2022, I was fortunate to complete the construction of a separate art studio at our home, where I spend my days working – if not painting outdoors. More information is available at my website – www.janecasnermothersill.com
Jewelry artist Ling-Yen Jones offers a striking contrast with her finely wrought silver, semi-precious stones, and pearls. Based in Mendocino County, Jones creates one-of-a-kind pieces that range from traditional to modern, often incorporating motifs such as leaves, birds, and windows—symbols of growth, hope, and transformation. Her training includes studies with David Laplantz at Humboldt State University, Monterey Peninsula College, and workshops at the Mendocino Art Center. Jones is also the gallery coordinator for the Coast Highway Artist Collective in Point Arena and has exhibited widely across Northern California. Her work, including evocative pieces like “Unmentionables,” draws inspiration from the Ukiyo-E period of Japanese art, blending expressive faces with hidden floral and romantic imagery to explore themes of serenity and everyday grace.

Almost Fringe returns to Point Arena 2025
2025-04-03 11:00 - 2025-04-27 16:00 | Coast Highway Artists Collective, 284 Main Street, Point Arena, CA, 95468, United States
Almost Fringe Festival returns to Point Arena By Rozann Grunig
The unusual, the bizarre, just a bit whacky, maybe even shocking – that’s what the Almost Fringe Festival is all about. Join the members of the Coast Highway Art Collective in Point Arena for a celebratory opening reception of this fun and free-form event on Saturday, April 19 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Collective is hosting music and exhibiting new works by Collective members. Although the opening is set to coincide with Almost Fringe Festivals around the globe, the exhibit will be available for viewing at CHAC from April 3 to April 27.
Loosely based on the International fringe art movement, Mendocino County celebrates this as a month-long festival at several venues to celebrate all of the creative happenings countywide, from traditional to cutting edge and artsy to agrarian.
The original Fringe Festival is held annually in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is the largest art festival in the world. This festival spans 25 days and includes events in 294 venues in the following categories theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children’s shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and events.
Locally, the festival is being promoted by the Point Arena Merchants Association. The goal of the festival is to have a culturally diverse festival that reflects the complexity of our amazing community. Local merchants and restaurants will be participating to create a fun and engaging festival street scene.
“Almost Fringe is my favorite event each year,” says collective member Rozann Grunig. The object is to create art that comes from the heart and the mind, regardless of the commercial value. As artists, we spend too much time assessing if a piece we are creating will sell. The pieces we envision for Almost Fringe are for fun, relevance, emotions and the sheer joy of creating.”
The Coast Highway Art Collective is joining into the festivities with artists Paula Rie Bonham, handmade greeting cards; James Docker, wood wall art; Linda Green, ceramics; Jeannie Haydon, metal wall sculpture; Perry Hoffman, ceramic and photography; Emma Hurley, ceramics & clothing; Ling-Yen Jones, jewelry; Kirk McCarthy, jewelry; Jacqueline Mooney, Wild Fire Fusion, Glass; Cindy Morey, photography; Shawn Quinlan, quilts; Siobhan, silk scarves; Neno Villamor, paper clay cards; Carol Williams, sculpture and jewelry. Other collective members will also have new and interesting pieces on exhibit in the spirit of the festival theme.
Live music is provided by Black Sugar Rose from 12 to 2 p.m. and Bard of a Feather from 2 to 4 p.m. Meet the artists and learn more about Almost Fringe and the collective during the opening reception.
The Coast Highway Art Collective is located at 284 Main St., Point Arena, the little red building with the big yellow sun, located next to the Redwood Coast Credit Union. Regular hours are Thursday through Saturday, 11 am to 4 pm. and Sundays by appointment.

Cindy’s photography
out of Africa – a photographer’s focus on helping save the world’s wildlife

Cindy Morey photographer and avid traveler, of Manchester, CA shares her many photographs of wild animals from the heart of Africa. Some photographs are astonishingly up close and intimate. During her first visit, she had planned to photograph the Gorillas in Uganda. However, due to tribal warfare on the border of Rwanda, she had to settle for climbing the 19,341-foot peak of Mount Kilimanjaro! Subsequent trips to Kenya, Tanzania, Cape Town/South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Egypt and Morocco exposed her to more wonders of the world, including our companion wildlife.

The California Ocean and Coastal Amateur Photography Contest pays tribute to these special places, honors the diversity of wildlife they support, and celebrates our ability to access and enjoy these special places. This exhibit features a selection of prize-winning images from the contest over the years, including winners from 25th annual contest that was held during the summer of 2024. The recent contest received 963 submissions from photographers across California. A judging panel consisting of professional photographers and naturalists unanimously selected winners and honorable mentions.
This annual contest is sponsored by the California Coastal Commission, which was established by voter initiative in 1972 to provide long-term protection for California’s 1,100-mile coastline. The Coastal Commission’s Public Education Program provides opportunities for the public to learn about and connect with California’s remarkable coast and ocean.

I am excited to be a part of this exhibit.
Thanks to Donnalynn for collaborating with me.
Here is a statement she wrote about our collaborating.
An Arm and A Leg & More
donnalynn chase & Ling-Yen Jones
How can a jeweler collaborate with a collage artist?
How can a collage artist collaborate with a jeweler?
Those were the questions Ling-Yen and donnalynn asked themselves. Eventually we admitted to each other that we would like to create something out of body parts. Working with those odd elements was something we always wanted to do. So then, we did what we normally do in our creative work, we gathered materials and began. Ling-Yen made her jewelry and donnalynn hunted through her large collection of “more” and chose items that complements an arm and a leg. We met a few times to review our work and findings.
Of course, Ling-Yen created her work from semi-precious stones, pearls, silver – and clay doll arms. All the items we made and found were then assembled by donnalynn into an old artist’s box. Our collaboration basically became a 3D collage with jewelry. The pendant that Ling-Yen made with a miniature collage by donnalynn is truly a pure collaboration. The jewelry pieces can be purchased separately, as well as the assemblage from the artists after the exhibit.

Just a bit more information about where the money that the Creative Arts League receives goes.

We thought you would like to know where the funds go and the great things the show makes possible. The show is one of the Crocker’s 4 annual fundraisers and underwrites exhibitions and supports their educational programs throughout the year.
The Creative Arts League sponsors exhibitions regionally, and has funded two endowments at the Crocker. In 2017, we donated $125,000 to the Crocker Art Museum 2017 Retrospective on Ruth Rippon, a well-known Sacramento ceramicist. In 2024, we sponsored the 3rd By Hand Exhibit, an international biennial show, at the Blue Line Gallery in Roseville. This year we awarded grants to Stanford Settlement, Rancho Cordova Arts and SoJourner Truth African Heritage Museum and Mustard Seed School to further their arts programs.

Artist Statement:
Focusing on renewable materials and recycling, my practice is centered around The Environment and Sea.
This body of work speaks about the history of this area (Mendocino) and the maritime characters and or animals that make it uniquely positioned on the US West Coast.
Having spent near most of the last 30 years in some of the world’s most rugged Maritime and Alpine environments, my work promoted endangered species protection. As I was working remotely operationally with expedition vessels and helicopters (sub Antarctica), I witnessed first hand the effects of global warming.
My process involves educating those lesser privileged about the impacts of our footprint by telling narratives that are local and global with an emphasis on nature, community and femininity.
Training & Education:
Ocean Engineering FAU, woods hole, MIT. 30 years operational, outdoors education, not for profits and facilitating operations in World Heritage Parks. Presently working with museums globally to improve public policies, procedures and bettering funding tiers to vocalize lesser privileged narratives to become heard through Art and information technology. Born in South Africa; 1/3 American; 1/3 New Zealander, citizen of the world and a woman with a voice.
