Dixie's oil painting, San Miguel Mountain, is featured in a new book, Land of Sunlight -- Contemporary Paintings of San Diego County. The book is both a geographic tour of the county's landscapes and a guide to contemporary representational painting in the region. More than 100 fine artists contributed paintings to the book, demonstrating a wide range of artistic styles and techniques. LAND OF SUNLIGHT was published in August 2007, and should be available in stores county-wide during the second half of the year.

Dixie's watercolor illustrates a new book of inspirational poetry Wings of the Wind by Diana Wallis Taylor. Visit Diana's website for more information.

Dixie is the Artist in Residence at Summers Past Farms in Flinn Springs, California, and is a member of the East County Art Association
