I will be teaching a three-day workshop at the Wescott Bay Institute in Friday Harbor, Washington, on San Juan Island July 11-13.  

The photo to the right is from a workshop I taught at Shipwreck Beads in April. On the first night of the workshop, the students and I went to a vegan/vegetarian/carnivore restaurant in Olympia called "Le Voyeur". It was a delicious and cross-cultural experience.

From May 3 to June 3, Museo in Langley on Whidbey Island, Washington, is having a group show of work by Northwest Designer Craftsmen, of which I'm proud to be a member. The opening is May 3 from 5-8 p.m.

I will have art showing and will be demonstrating how I make my art at the 2008 Greenwood ArtWalk on May 9 and 10 at Johnson & Johnson Antiques. I live in the Greenwood neighborhood, and enjoy this opportunity to mingle with my neighbors.

Later this year I will have an exhibit at the Moses Lake Museum and Art Center in Moses Lake, Washington from November 13 to December 31. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to show a large selection of my recent and historic work in one place, including older work that is based on Columbia Basin petroglyphs and pictographs. It means a great deal to me to have a show in the part of the state that has so influenced my art. For this exhibit, I will be giving a lecture and am hoping to teach a workshop.

Trans Artists asked if they could use the story of my residency on their Web site. They called it "Struck by Calm". Trans Artists "is an independent foundation that informs artists of any discipline about international artist-in-residence programs and other opportunities for artists to stay and work elsewhere 'for art's sake'" (from their Web site).

While this last item is "old" news, I believe it is still significant. My residency at the Montana Artist Refuge in May 2005 allowed me to focus exclusively on my art for four continuous weeks. The experience was unprecedented for me and continues to shape my life and art every day.

Finally, Bradford Bohonus of VR Seattle shot a VR (360 degree virtual reality photography) movie of my studio. Bradford's web site is one of the largest, most comprehensive, QuickTime VR tours in the world of a single city and includes the studios of many local artists.
