Arts North Studio Tour
October 12th and 13th, 10 AM – 5 PM

Visit 10 North Seattle Studios in one weekend, and see a wide range of beautiful art, glass, jewelry and ceramics from some of Seattle’s best artists. Click these links to download the Studio Brochure or Map.

I will have a wide selection of prints, framed and unframed, as well as mixed media work on Venetian Plaster. Laura will be showing her highly collectable ceramic ware and photographic works. We are both photo based artists, but we have taken the medium in very different directions. I love the opportunity for our work to be shown together, and look forward to meeting new friends and old.

Yesterday, Memorial Day, I took on the dreaded tas Yesterday, Memorial Day, I took on the dreaded task of shopping for hiking boots for walking the border of Wales and England and roaming around Ireland. I have the kind of feet that were born to complain. I was once on an 8 mile hike in heavy leather boots I had not truly broken in and they did that thing with a crease right on the main joint of your big toe. This was approximately 1 million years ago, with 7 miles to go before I could take them off and I can still feel the throbbing. So I tried to live in slippers for the rest of my life, but this will not work on 7 to 10 mile treks through bogs and scree. There were approximately six suitors in the shoe arena, each of them screaming Ouch! Ugly! Why me and my feet! And then I found these boots and it was a heart throb of love at first sight. Please direct your hearts and prayers that are not being spent on more important things —of which there are many— towards my feet and making it through the first flush of love to actually being able to wear these shoes 10 miles a day. If things don’t go well, I may just sit in my room in Killarney or Hay-and-Wye and paint watercolors of my boots. I will take romance in whatever form it arrives.

WAKING UP WAKING UP
Thank you everyone who came out to Spotlight North Thank you everyone who came out to Spotlight North! It was wonderful to host people in my home and share the garden. Saturday morning a Golden Kinglet appeared. This is a truly magical yellow bird — so fast and so shy that I have never been able to take a good photograph. This bird only comes two days a year, first stopping in the branches of the tree above the pond and then briefly examining the moss. Before I can grab my camera, it has flown. However brief the visit, it always feels like a blessing. 

I was happy to see a range of work go to new new homes, much of it inspired by the garden and the visiting birds. This morning I am sharing images going back 20 years, of my life with birds and the garden. When I bought my home, it sat on a long mangy lawn contained by chain-link and concrete and a picket fence. It is now a wildlife sanctuary: Protect what you love.✨
