"The Bumble-Bee Brigade"
The City of Kent was kind enough to license my art for a city beautification ( plus anti-graffiti ) initiative. The art now adorns a signal/utility box in Kent.
See more pictures here. |

The City of Woodinville, working with the Woodinville Rotary Club, recruited a dozen local artists to create 'Peace Poles' celebrating Peace on Earth. This is me painting a pole themed on community, diversity, and inclusion.
The poles are located at the DeYoung Park in Woodinville WA and will be unveiled in a future ceremony.

New Jigsaw Puzzle: North Star
|
|
My painting, 'North Star', is now available as an 'adventurous' 480-piece wooden jigsaw puzzle, produced and sold by indie artisanal puzzle maker, Artifact Puzzles.
This one is full of challenging curly tentacle-like connectors and will probably appeal most to staunch puzzle aficionados :).
Available from Amazon as are all the other jigsaw puzzles based on my art!.
