Frances found art as an important outlet since early childhood. Her inter- est started as a young child, when her favorite Aunt Pe- tra placed her painting of a white rabbit on the refrigera- tor. In elementary school her drawing of an eagle was used as an illustration for a Cinco de Mayo celebration. Frances, of Native Amer- ican, Spanish and Basque parentage, first became an active artist in Southern California, working in ce- ramics and basket making. While living in the moun- tains of Southern Califor- nia, she studied under Maria Martinez and her daughter Barbara Gonzales, famous for their black Native Amer- ican pottery from the San Il- defonso Pueblo Reservation at the Idyllwild School of the Arts. Another influence in pottery was Lanny Atkins of Joshua Tree. After relocating to North- ern California in the early '80s, Frances took lessons in watercolor and mixed me- dia from Lee Warner in Red Bluff, and further art classes through Shasta College. She counts Freida Kahlo, Mary Cassatt, and Tiffany Glass as favorite sources of inspi- ration. Today Frances finds art to be an all-encompassing part of her life. She states that art is healing, pleasure, something that colors her world and a source of med- itation — getting lost in the colors. Thus, she has dedi- cated a portion of her gar- den to her grandchildren. It is decorated with her own mosaic work and their out- grown, ride-on toys in addi- tion to flowering plants. An- other recent project was re- decorating a bedroom at her home for her granddaugh- ters. The room is a depic- tion of New York City. RBAA, bringing art op- portunities, education and enrichment to the North Val- ley, meets Thursday at 10:00 at the Tehama County Fair- grounds, 650 Antelope Blvd., Red Bluff. Frances Becker named Artist of the Month Frances Becker, named artist of the month by the Red Bluff Art Association, shows one of her creations.

"There has been a set list put down for me every night we play, the same set list for eleven years and I have never followed it yet," Doug Grey of The Marshall Tucker Band said. "There is no picking of songs. It's all about the au- dience that dictates our be- ing here and so if the audi- ence shouts 'Fire on the Mountain,' we will change to 'Fire on the Mountain' right then. If someone says 'Searching for a Rainbow' then I look around to every- body in the band, we have a little hand signal that we do and we start 'Searching for a Rainbow', and if they want to hear the jam songs like we've done in the '70s with The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers we have a signal and we play what the audience wants to hear."
