Open Studio and Studio Tours
I have opened my home studios to the public annually, most years since around 1980. Before moving to the northwest in 2003, I founded Natick Artists Open Studios where I lived in Massachusetts. Since moving to the Washington State, I have participated in the annual Camano Island Studio Tour.
