I'm so excited! 'Lavender Field at Sunset' is hanging in the front room at the Kirkland Arts Center Ex Nihilo Show! Sharing the room with lots of beautiful pieces from an amazing array of artists!

Art Show at HiLife

Honored, excited, humbled to have 3 pieces of artwork juried into the Chow Food Hi-Life Spring Show! Will be hung from tomorrow through June in this very fun Ballard Restaurant!

Celebrating All People

For the record... this girl celebrates the bonds of friendship and commerce that weave through all countries around the world, the sharing of talents, creativity, good will, kindness and goods that transcends borders. In fact, this morning I am eating an avocado from Mexico, and drinking a mug (hand painted in Italy) of coffee whose beans were harvested in Sumatra. I buy hand dyed silk from a woman in Australia and dyed wool from a woman in Czechoslovakia. In turn my books, fiber art and paintings travel the world - my painted girls advertise a spa in Germany and adorn a garden wall (as a mosaic) in South Australia. I have a dear friend from the Netherlands, another from South Africa, and yet another whose husband is from China... oh did I mention Mom is Canadian. I celebrate all people, all countries, all belief systems, all backgrounds.
