Grace Hudson Museum to explore how local geology inspired the works of painter Ray Strong 

UKIAH, CA., 11/14/24 – Like a diamond in the rough, it’s rare that geology and fine art are discussed in the same breath, yet that is the focus of a talk by Ted Buckner, executive director of the Historical Society of Mendocino County, who presents “Below and Above the Earth” at the Grace Hudson Museum in Ukiah on Saturday.  

According to the museum, Buckner will present an illustrated talk “on the geologic and other natural forces that shape the various landscape of Northern California,” and how “the dramatic vistas and generous beauty of these landscapes were deeply felt by painter Ray Strong.”
