Equinox’ annual Very Open House is on Saturday, December 9th, and there’ll be over 150 artists and artisans showing their work across four buildings, along with live music, demos, dance and performance, bonfires, food trucks, beer gardens and a whole lot more!

I’ll have a table selling my artwork at one of the buildings in Georgetown called
Base: Experimental Arts + Space
6520 5th Avenue South
Seattle, WA 98108
On the west side of 5th Avenue South between Michigan and River Streets, just south of Counterbalance Brewery.

6pm to 10pm – this is the event run time within Base, but Equinox goes from 3pm on into the night. Free entry and all ages welcome!

The Collins Memorial Library is pleased to announce a new collaborative exhibit to be on display from January 8th – April 30th. The World Through Abby’s Eyes, is about the nuanced life of women in the American West in the early twentieth century. The focal point of the exhibit will be Tacoma resident Abby Williams Hill (1861-1943), and specifically four significant roles she held: artist, advocate, mother, and woman. The exhibit will feature original works by local artists, all of which will explore the life and experiences of Hill. Building on these themes, we will also draw on the rich and vibrant history of Tacoma through documents, photographs and artifacts from the Archives & Special Collections and other community historical organizations. I’ll have a piece in this collective exhibition!

BirdNote is a nonprofit public media organization that produces the popular daily show about birds heard on KNKX 88.5-FM, via podcast, and on 300 other public radio stations around the country. BirdNote is holding a virtual auction on 11/30 for their end-of-year fundraiser that supports their mission of inspiring people to care about the natural world and take steps to protect it. They expect a great national turnout, with the largest concentration of people joining from the Pacific Northwest. The theme of the event is a “Bird Drawing Throwdown Showdown” between acclaimed bird illustrator David Sibley and star of Bob’s Burgers and Archer, H. Jon Benjamin, and it will also feature a live performance from Andrew Bird. I’ll have this etching in the auction which can be viewed here: https://app.galabid.com/birdnote-benefit

I’ll have a spot with my prints at the Tacoma Arts at the Armory, November 11 & 12, 11am-5pm. 1001 S. Yakima Ave. Come chat with and support local artists!

On October 27th at the Seattle Art Museum, visitors celebrated life and those we lost with Mexican art, music, dance and food. I taught a workshop on printing linocuts with watercoloring and using a typewriter to add text.

On October 28th & 29th at the Seattle Center Armory, we also celebrated Dia de los Muertos and taught relief printmaking with Pratt Fine Arts Center.

“Renewal” collective exhibition showing until January 2024, steamroller printing 2’x3′ linocut, and prints for sale at the gift shop.

In 1999-2001, I was teaching English in a small town called Kuzumaki in northern Japan. Through the years, I’m so grateful to be able to visit their beautiful valley when in Japan. It’ll be my second show there, this time in the newly renovated town hall building. Thank you to all my friends in Kuzumaki for having me again, especially Katsura Endo & Yumi Kumagai! お楽しみです！(５月は鯉のぼりだから—May 5th is Children’s Day in Japan, when they hang koi (carp) flags)
