ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I’ve been creating art from my earliest memories, producing drawings and signs for school and group events. Naturally, I gravitated to the commercial media, first in print and then to electronic broadcasting. I have completed a B.A. and the M.P.A. Coursework from the Evergreen State College.

After retirement and a modicum of training, I took up painting, pursuing impressionist/expressionist styles focusing on Pacific N.W. “feelings” in watercolor, acrylic, and low-profile three-dimensional art. Salmon as an art genre presented many new expressionist opportunities through its aesthetic and metaphysical qualities. This perennial force of nature coursing through the pristine waterways of our primordial forests illustrates beautifully and fundamentally the web of life of which we are all a part.
