League President Chris Hackett visits with Janie Ellis on the Cattle Track tour. “Janie is the owner and conservator of the Cattle Track Arts Compound. She lives in the home her parents, George and Rachael, built out of "redwood staves that were salvaged from a water pipeline." She is extremely talented in her own right. She gave a presentation, including early photographs, and she did show us around the premises, which is home to a number of artists, including photographers, printers, painters, ceramists and architects. Here’s a great article from Phoenix Home and Garden to you for background information on this fascinating place.”

Janie Ellis explained, "The Doors we salvaged. Someone bought them and was going to take them to the dump because they had termites in the bottom. We killed the termites and put them up there. Probably 16th century from Mexico. Many layers of gold leaf and paint."
