As a watercolorist I have been creating art on on Camano Island for over 18 years. I have been a featured artist at the Stanwood Camano Art Guild and have been in CAA’s Mother’s Day Tour for the last two years. In those two years I have shown at Edward Lynne Cellars on Camano Island just as you drive onto the island.  In 2024 my painting “Pretty in Pink” was on their special Rosé. And in 2025 “Tucson Blooms” was on their Sauvignon Blanc.  One of my paintings will be on this year’s special wine again. Last year I was  the featured artist at the Beach One Gallery in August and will be there again as featured artist this June.

I’ve participated in Art By the Bay for the last few years and will be there again in October. I was commissioned by SCAAC and the City of Stanwood to have two of my paintings of herons applied to banners to be hung around the town. One of them has often been hanging in front of my favorite restaurant, Jimmy’s Pizza. I also was commissioned to paint one  of the artifacts at the Stanwood Historical Society.

Among my subjects have been highly detailed paintings of flowers, fruit, Moroccan scenes, a rusty old Ford, birds and still lifes. My “Purple Rain” flower was one of the featured paintings in the 2023 Stanwood Camano Art Guilds page in the studio tour catalog and also won an award in the their  2022 Art Aloft show.

“Waiting in Essaouria”, a painting of Moroccan fishing boats, was selected to be on the shortlist of international artists for Le Venezie Watercolor Festival in Italy in 2022 and was also later in the Stanwood-Camano Art Guild’s 2022 Color and Light show, a regional juried art show.  Its companion “Dry Dock” was accepted into the NWWS 2023 Annual Waterworks Exhibition.  My work “Traffic Jam” was accepted into the National Watercolor Society Member exhibition.

In 2026 come by to see me again at  Edward Lynne Cellars on Camano Island during the Mother’s Day Tour. You can also stop by the winery any time on the week-ends when it is open.

See you in May!
