This February, the Clarke Historical Museum is proud to feature the work of local painters Mia Hilfiker, Dean Smith, and Jesse Wiedel, a talented trio who embarked on a plein-air adventure to capture the breathtaking landscapes of Humboldt County.
Through vivid color and dynamic movement, their paintings offer unique perspectives of our region’s natural beauty, each reflecting their individual artistic styles.
Meet the Artists
