(Carol Kozal, Gallery Director, Center: Senator Pat Wiggins, Paul Kozal, Artist)
Studio 391 was honored to have Senator Pat Wiggins attend the exhibition opening/artist reception for Paul Kozal's new show, Winter.
Senator Wiggins represents California's large 2nd Senate District which includes portions or all of six North Coast Counties: Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Solano and Sonoma. As a first-term Senator, Pat introduced 35 pieces of legislation in 2007 on topics ranging from agriculture, youth employment and land use to political reform, health care and veterans' affairs.
Pat, at one time, was an accomplished parachutist, having been raised in a family of daredevils. Her father, Ralph Wiggins, was the stuntman responsible for the wing-walking maneuvers in Robert Redford’s classic movie, The Great Waldo Pepper, and her mother Grace was one of the first women ever to parachute.
