Camano Island, WA 98282
United States
| I am a painter, horseback rider and a fair to middling piano player. I have always been an artist—I sold my first blue ribbon, award-winning painting when I was about 13 years old at the Missoula County Fair in western Montana.
I don’t aspire to the phrase Less is More. To me, More is More (and sometimes not enough). I want to entice all the senses with my artwork by combining unexpected colors, flattening space, utilizing interesting patterns and manipulating paint into textures. Using a mishmash of tools, found objects and invented applicators, I illustrate personal stories in a variety of media: acrylics, oils, encaustic, latex exterior house paint, spray enamel, charcoal, colored pencil, coffee and bleach.
I also participate in Big Projects: wall murals, floorcloths, banners, fiberglass pigs (Seattle’s Pigs on Parade), nutcracker sculptures (Nutcracker March), benches (Performing Arts Center Eastside, Bellevue) and a wine barrel (fundraiser for Heroes for the Homeless).

| Signs of Spring
Enough with the rain and gray and cold, windy weather! The tulips are hardly peeking out of the ground, the trees are barely opening their fresh, bright green leaves, the birds are padding their nests with fur and feathers and the gray whales nowhere to be found. (At least I haven't seen them yet). Driving north on West Camano Drive, I see a bright pink glow. | | Tsunami
At the entry to Camano Island State Park—not a sign we expected to see.
We were not able to go down the stairs to the beach today. Tsunami warning. | | February on Camano Island
This is our view to the west. The Victoria Clipper is headed north with a bald eagle soaring overhead. Whidbey Island and the Olympic Mountains are in the background. | | A Walk in the Woods
Part of my day should include a walk. One of my favorite places is Cama Beach State Park, just a couple miles from home. Rusty goes with me and we enjoy the wonderful peace and quiet. | | Fear of Falling
(sometimes in art, it's OK to leap before you look) |
