Upcoming Exhibits


I have a few exhibits coming up that you may want to check out. Starting in mid-May, I will be exhibiting at the Prima Bistro in Langley, Washington. Langley is a wonderful little town with interesting shops, galleries and restaurants. We have a little get-away place on Whidbey and we almost always stop through Langley on the way there. Prima Bistro is our favorite place. It's just like on "Cheers" - everybody knows your name and they treat you like you were the most important customer in the restaurant. The chef there has worked at Campagne, Bis on Main (Bellevue) and other area restaurants. The menu is French inspired Northwest cuisine. It is difficult to pass up the Steak Frites with blue cheese aoili but the Fish Frites with fennel slaw is terrific as well and he makes a wonderful Croque Madame for lunch. If you find yourself on Whidbey Island, make sure you stop by for a meal. In good weather, the terrace has great views of Saratoga Passage. http://www.primabistro.biz


Also, check out the Star Store located just below Prima Bistro - a very interesting combination of food, wine, men's, women's and children's clothing, along with a fun kitchen shop. Upstairs has great children's toys, as well.

In June, I'll be exhibiting at the Starbucks on 8th Street in Bellevue. That particular location is very supportive of local artists.

It's still a long way off, but in January I'll be exhibiting at Madison Park Cafe in Seattle but more about that as it approaches.

PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT AT CAFFE LADRO





Just got back from hanging my first photography exhibit at Caffe Ladro in the Issaquah Highlands. My able assistant, Darcy, and I found it a bit challenging but fun. Try hanging 19 pictures without using a single nail. There was a series of hooks we were required to use which involved a little more 'engineering' than I would have liked - but after 3 hours and lots of effort (and balancing on a display case), the pictures are hanging. Shelly, the manager, has been very supportive and I am booked there for four months. At intervals I will be rotating new collections and hopefully, the process will go much more smoothly next time.

I have to thank Darcy for encouraging me to take this step. Because of her encouragement I now have two more exhibits scheduled. I'll be hanging in the Bellevue 8th Street Starbucks in June and at Madison Park Cafe in Seattle next January.


My next task is to take more photographs!! This winter weather has done nothing to inspire me. If you're out Issaquah way, run up to the highlands and take a look.
