Welcome!

Welcome! This blog will chronicle my efforts to document, through my artwork, the landscape and the buildings around me. I hope to learn about the history of the beautiful place in which I live and to share that with others through sketching, painting, and writing.

Buy my artwork! I maintain a website where all of my affordable artwork can be viewed and purchased easily. The site is here: Libby Fife Fine Art

I also maintain a studio blog which is looser in format. Check me out there to see what else I am doing:

Campo Seco-Photo


I was in Campo Seco earlier in October to have a look at the Adams Building remains and historical marker. Campo Seco was settled in 1849 by Mexicans who worked the placers in Oregon Gulch. I did a cursory search and came up with this interesting tidbit on the type of stone used for these buildings. Campo Seco was an active town for awhile. I was interested to learn that these ruins may be from the "Chinese section" of town. The town is small so it is amazing to me that there were sections. I also found a link to some interesting history here.
As always, if anyone reading has some information just send me an email.

Thanks,
