Hello Friends,
Happy Spring! No one is ever as happy as I am to welcome spring with daylight savings time. I usually spend winter holed up in my studio working as much as possible in anticipation of a Northwest Summer!
This winter I have been diligently working on a larger than life Saint Anne for Saint Anne Hospital in Burien, Washington State. We are hoping for a late summer/fall on-site unveiling (details in the months to come!). I have been putting many hours into the hands, feet, portrait and drapery. The time I spent in France last year viewing the many beautiful pieces of Art has guided my own hands and heart in creating the Saint Anne and I can't wait to show you the finished piece.
Last week I opened up my teaching schedule, took on a few mentoring students, and even posted another summer (two weeks) of Art Camps at Apprentice Academy. My kids would never forgive me if I skipped a summer of their much anticipated art camps after eight years, though this year I am pressed for studio space. I will soon be clearing the decks for another large sculpture for Virginia Mason Franciscan Health.
In other news, I have a local show upcoming at Cole Gallery in Edmonds, Washington. Please join me for the reception on May 18th from 5:00-8:00 pm (Edmonds Art Walk Night). The show runs from May 3rd - 30th with 3 pieces: Up We Go, The Bell Cricket, and Cosmos. I would love to see you there!
Sister Anne
Sculpting Sister Anne's portrait. She was selected as the model for this project because of her continued dedication to Franciscan Health. She has modeled countless hours.
We listen to Irish music ☘️ and she tells me stories about her childhood growing up in Ireland. I never get tired of hearing stories.
