From the artist’s statement:

My watercolored block prints are inspired by encounters with birds of the Pacific Northwest, either resident or passing through during migration. Experiences along the coastal beaches of the Olympic Peninsula, summer camping in the Methow Valley, wandering local parks and nature preserves, visitors in the garden, utility pole guests… Whatever the inspiration, my block prints continue to focus on the multitude of birds and habitats of the Northwest. There is a truth in the eye of the bird, wonder in its flight, grace to be found in its presence.

Meet the artist in the library during the Friday night opening of the annual Garden Lovers’ Book Sale, April 4 from 5-8 pm, as well as on Saturday, April 5 from 9 am to 3 pm.
