"Portuguese Doors and Tiles: A Watercolor Adventure in Lisbon and Porto"
Finally, after years of anticipation, I found myself strolling through the charming streets of Lisbon and Porto, armed with a camera and my trusty small watercolors. Seven weeks in Portugal, and the main thing on my agenda? Paint the doors, windows, wrought iron, and those iconic azulejos.

Finding Inspiration with Silk Fabrics
I spent some time last month playing in the studio with my growing collection of silk fabrics. Bits and pieces of fabric purchased, found, gifted and handed down to me because maybe I could do something with them. Some have been with me for over 30 years, waiting patiently in a trunk. Memories of travels to India or just the Punjabi Market in Vancouver, back in the 80’s and 90’s, when it was thriving on those few blocks at Main and 49th.
Painting Seattle Dive bars, Ice cream bars and Fish Bars…
Growing up in Vancouver BC, I would often visit Seattle with my Canon AE1 program in hand, wander around Pioneer Square, Downtown, Pikes Place and the U-District. Taking pictures and visiting galleries. So many favorites are gone.
I didn’t know then that Seattle would be my forever home and I would still wander the streets with my android phone/camera in hand. A few favorites are still around, but I’m not sure for how long…
The 41st Annual PNA Winter Festival and Craft Fair
I am super excited to have been selected as one of this years participating artists.

Postcards from Europe, Travels with Friends

Painting the Street Scenes, Oaxaca, Mexico
During this 100 day challenge smaller groupings have appeared, nothing I could have planned just the results of a daily practice and putting in the time. I covered my food groups in this Oaxacan mini series; Frutas y Legumes, Pescaderia, Rosticeria, Taqueria, Queseria, and EL Mundo Del Dulce. It’s making me very hungry.
