Contributions Welcome!

Hi! My name is Laila Espinoza. I am a Community Arts student at CCA. I created this website as an Independent Study Course because I believed that the mural "Queen Califia Rules" contained so many important and relevant images that needed to extend from the visual to the written in order to offer a more complete source of education via art form and resource. I formed part of the team of muralists that created this mural over the summer of 2015 and realized that the information presented on the mural was like a book full of beautiful and intriguing images. These carefully crafted images needed to be written about.  In addition, during the unveiling of the mural and the reception, there were many questions asked about the various characters and other visual elements of the mural. This website is my personal effort to share the stories, his -tories and her-stories behind each of the images that compose the mural. It is a work-in-progress. The stories seem infinite. There is so much that the mural "Queen Califia Rules" offers that it really does deserve a book that remains open for discussion and contribution. I realize there are stories out there and very likely, different versions of my own findings presented here, that others might know. I happily welcome contributions that can help add more pages or expand the pages on this online book. I also welcome comments and questions. I hope that we can continue to grow the very valuable source of not only beauty but of information that the mural "Queen Califia Rules" has to offer. With gratitude, Laila
