“The Golden Oak Trees are the guardians of Santa Clarita. They watch over us as they blanket our forests, line our streams and create breath taking canopies and pathways for us to hike and meditate in. Besides their massiveness and beauty, the reason I love to photograph and paint the Golden Oak trees, is because they grow in very unique, random shapes and forms. They remind me to be a strong, unique individual with a free creative spirit. Santa Clarita is home to tens of thousands of native oaks which blanket our local mountains, line our streams and add a beautiful presence to our natural landscape. These native oak trees have a long history in Santa Clarita which date back to the 1800’s.” Brad Sergi
