A "sneek" peek at the Ladies...
This is one of the new pieces I will be showing at ArtSplash, opening July 15, in downtown Edmonds, Washington. You have GOT to see this one in person, the photo doesn't quite do it justice! This is based on an old drawing from college that I did many years ago, and I have carved the figures into encaustic wax. I've added ink, graphite, sand and glass micro-beads. See the sidebar to the right for more information on this fabulous upcoming show...

South Pacific and the Pacific Northwest
I am blessed...
to have been able to visit these gorgeous places in May and June.
Pictured from top to bottom: Dragon's Teeth, Maui, Hawaii; salt deposits at Dragon's Teeth; a
West Maui ocean view; cliff at North Beach in Port Townsend, Washington; rock sculpture at North Beach; log 'wall' at North Beach, Port Townsend, Wa.
This is what keeps this artist 'ticking'...

I'm back!
New and exciting posts coming SOON! Thanks for your patience! I just recently returned from tropical Maui breezes, and had to plunge right in to the massive Artists Garage Sale, which took place in Everett, Washington this last weekend. It was a HUGE success, and "Thanks" to everyone who attended and stopped by my booth. A gorgeous 70 degree day, with full sunshine--which is rare in June in Washington!!

This is a "must attend" event!!
This fabulous event is happening at the new Schack Art Center in Everett, Washington on June 5. I will be selling pastel and oil landscapes, mixed media collage, art prints, photographic prints and more! Over 90 artists will be participating, and here's a little secret: the "early bird" gets the worm. Stuff sells 'uber' fast, and prices are jaw-droppingly (is that a word?) amazing!! Cold hard CASH is best, checks or O.K., a small number of artists will accept plastic. 9 to 3 p.m. For more information, you can call the Arts Council of Snohomish County at 425-257-8380. See you there!

My shrine has arrived!!
This beautiful shrine,"Art Heals", has just arrived on my doorstep! It was made by artist Lisa DiNunzio, and you can see her blog at: www.pritistudio.blogspot.com. Lisa was one of many talented artists who participated in the auction to benefit Oaxaca Street Children Grassroots, which raised approximately $4,000 this year. I was also very privileged to be involved in the auction, by making and donating a handmade shrine called "Protect the Children". (see my sidebar)
Here is a little bit about Lisa DiNunzio:
"I am a self-taught (self-critical) artist. I was brought up by the
"waste not-want not" mantra, so this explains the up-cycled art
I create and also probably my extra 10 pounds :)
I am a paradox: eternally optimistic and at the same time
almost always melancholy.
I have a family that I am in love with...a charmed life I am so thankful for... I am bashful and ridden with anxiety, but I do have a "brave-face-mask" that I wear almost all of the time..."
I feel so fortunate to have met all of the artists (through our blogs) who participated in this heartfelt cause for children in Oaxaca, Mexico. I encourage you to visit Lisa's beautiful art blog!
