Artist Recognition

When I stand beneath a tree, I feel the sacred power of its axis mundi, as a cosmic pillar connecting the energy between the earth and the sky. The tree becomes a meeting point of all directions, functioning as the omphalos (navel), the world’s point of beginning. I grew up among the old growth Douglas firs and red cedars, the peeling barks of the madronas, and hollows of the big leaf maples. Our family roots in the Puget Sound run long and deep. During the last year of my father’s life, I began working with the tree image, this strong vertical form being much about who he was as a person.

I have lived in the Northwest most of my life, my childhood in Bellevue, a farm for twenty years on San Juan Island, and a return to Seattle for the last twenty-seven years. My sister and I were encouraged early to be artists, given crayons and blank paper, and both continue to share this with each other. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Stanford University, also studying art with Nathan Oliveira and Frank Lobdell. Venturing to Stanford’s Hopkins Marine Station for a scholastic quarter, my early biological illustration became focused on Pacific coast marine life, continuing for the next twenty years working on books, articles and installations. Marrying early out of the university and having three children, my first husband and I lived on San Juan Island for twenty years. Fairly self-sufficient and on little income, we spent little time in the city and constructed our own home. I continue to love to garden, ride my horse, but the flock of fifty sheep had to move on.
