Awarded! 2012 City Artist Project Grant!
I am one of 40 artists selected from 150 applicants to have my 'Stop Bullying Me!' project funded by the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs and Arts Commission.
'STOP
BULLYING ME!' is an art series I am creating that takes aim at bullying
LGBTQ youth and the ways people can intervene, culminating in a public
presentation at a local gallery and a Seattle Public School.
I am a retired theatre geek living in Seattle, WA. My theatre career was a decade long love affair ending with my receiving a BFA in Theatre Design and Technology From the University Of South Dakota. My training in theatre prepared me for my current work life, painting commissions for private/commercial collections and running my own cottage industry.
Over the past 11 years my commissions have included murals, portraits, wildlife art, and delightful pet portraits.
Five years ago I started a cottage industry of making decorative bird print plaques from original paintings, and selling them in locally owned stores around the country.
In 2012 I was awarded the City Artist Project Grant for my anti-bullying art series from the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs and Arts Commission.
