| My home is Camano Island in Washington State. My husband and I have cherished living on Camano for the past twenty five years. This is where we enjoy beaches, water and breathtaking views of the Cascade Mountain Range. We are intrigued by the tides, changing seasons and the numerous treasures the currents deliver especially after a storm. Happily, outdoor spaces are still abundant throughout the Pacific Northwest and in my wanderings I observe what our region has to offer.

Santa Barbara, California is also a place of significance for my husband and for me and we savor our time spent there each year. It's this area among the crashing waves and calm sea, the expansive stretches of warm sand and the extraordinary play of light over the Southern California coastline where I lovingly began painting my ocean series.... |
