There is a WIP (work in progress) of the above drawing, Special Delivery , on my blog if you wish to read more about the process of this piece.  Both pieces were inspired by the lovely landscapes we have here in the Pacific Northwest.  I particularly love the trees and rocks that I see everywhere!  There are so many magical places to encounter, how can you not be inspired!

I am hoping now to be back in the studio on a regular basis, creating new work.  After nearly two and a half weeks of a fun filled road trip adventure, we are home with our daughter who will become a new WA resident!  It makes us happy to have her near and to enjoy her company.  As always, thank you for taking the time to read about my work.  Hope you have a great adventure filled summer!

Schedule for many activities here.

All artwork is for sale.  The Shoreline Arts Festival is a new show for me.  The festival sounds like a lot of fun with a culturally diverse line up of activies to enjoy!  I've particpated in the Kenmore Art Show a few years ago but stopped due to timing of the show. This year however, I submitted because I was curious about the Bastyr campus.  I'm glad I did, it's a beautiful place.  LiveARTS Bothell is always a great festival and I'm so happy to once again be a part of it!  There are so many fun art festivals happening this month!  I hope you will be able to get out and enjoy some art and entertainment this weekend.   Perhaps I'll see you there!
