Artist Statement: When the journey is the reward, it makes it easier to experiment and a reminder to be mindful and in the moment. I usually choose subjects related to places I've visited and the historic and natural world of the lower Columbia River and the North Oregon coast where I’ve spent most of my life. Observing the environment on the north Oregon coast has made me appreciate the depth of its intense beauty and I feel fortunate to live here.
I grew up near the beach in Seaside and now live in Astoria, Oregon. Although starting out as an artist, life happened - and so eventually I ended up retiring from Clatsop Community College as a Dean of Continuing Education. My studio overlooks the Columbia River and a forest of trees that seem to sing when the wind blows.
I paint in acrylics and oil and cold wax - but I utilize mixed media using palettes that include organic materials, and enjoy exploring with experiments in texture and dimension.
Awards include multiple Best of Show and People’s Choice awards at Trail’s End Art Association’s Annual Judged Exhibition; an honorable mention at the juried international au Naturel competition; in the permanent collection at Oregon Coast Artists at the Oregon Coast Arts Commission Visual Arts Center Showcase in the Newport Visual Arts Center. I also show work in West Coast Artisans and the AVA Gallery Studio Tour and Gallery, both in Astoria. I have shown at Cannon Beach Arts Association Gallery, Bronze Koi Beads/Astoria, Fairweather Gallery/ Seaside, Rock my World /Lincoln City, 'My Secret Astoria' (AVA show) at Riversea Gallery/Astoria, Ode to Tides (Wetland Conservancy) in Corvallis, Seaside, and Newport; and participate regularly in community and two person shows with artist
Terrie Remington.
